When clients come to Buyer Services International and ask for our help in finding them a particular car, the first thing we try to do, is find them examples that closely match their specifications, then we see if it's possible to fit that car in to their budget. I'm not suggesting that we try to get them to increase the amount of money they intended to spend, but rather we attempt to haggle down the price the seller demands for the vehicle. It is this way that we often end up far exceeding our client's expectations on year, model, and condition of the vehicle that they desire to buy. How to haggle Most people wouldn't dream of buying a new or used car as daily transport without trying to talk the seller down in price. There is however a 'knack' to haggling, a way to negotiate that is both respectful and courteous.
Communication is the key.
Be polite, - but never tell a seller you plan to buy something. Always ask a tentative, if-derived question. Tell them they will have to do better. Say you need to because of your budget. People respect needs far more than they respect wants.
