Buyer: Hello
Seller: Good morning, how are you?
Buyer: Great, how about yourself?
Seller: Doing well. You're interested in my ad for the BMW X5? It's a great looking vehicle with only 117k miles on it.
Buyer: Yeah, I was looking around and it caught my eye. I would be willing to pay $5400 for it right now. I have the cash and could make the payment today. Of course, I would like to take a look at it first and possible take it for a test spin.
Seller: Understood. I'm asking $9,000 for it at the moment. We could definitely arrange for a test drive, but I don't think I can be that flexible on the price.
Buyer: Hmm, well I think the asking price is too steep considering the year and the car having 117k miles on it. I just bought a 2011 VW GTI with 56k on it for 9,000. I think I can go up to around $6,500 for this BWM. Anything more is too much in my opinion.
Seller: So while it's a 2006 model, it is a rather large BMW sports utility vehicle.  Luxury SUVs hold their value well and BMW doesn't change their styling much from year to year. I could go $8,000.
Buyer: I don't think I can do $8,000.
Seller: Well, this is a great looking vehicle, it was just cleaned and detailed and is really ready to go.
Buyer: How about $7,000?
Seller: I could split the difference and do $7,500.
Buyer: Deal! <puts hand out for a shake>
