7. Negotiating a Price with a Dealer


A: I liked the car, but I am not happy with the price.

B: I'm sorry, but that's the best we can do.

A: Could you talk to your manager and have it brought down?

B: I could try, but it probably won't work.

A: I can't afford $15,000. The most I can spend is $10,000.

B: Let me call my manager. He is out of the office.

A: I can pay it all off now. I don't want to be making payments.

B: Well, my manager said that we can work with $11,000.

A: I can't do $11,000. How about $10,500?

B: Let me check.

A: Great. I can pay you with a check today.

B: It seems that $10,500 will work. Let's get the paperwork filled.
