Ferrari Mailing List: Re: After-action report on 2007 F430

[Jim W. (jimshadow]

Michael,
 
Thanks for pointing that out, you are exactly right!    Laying a $140K check on 
the hood of said F430 would separate Jim from a guy with the cash who is 
interested in a F430 from a serious BUYER right here, right now, no Bullsh*t.!
The cLyDe buying process is a learning process.   I know how I'll neogitate the 
next one. ;)
 
JIM

The CLYDE negotiaton technique hinges on one key point that Jim's experience 
misses.
 
You don't walk in the door with an OFFER.
 
You walk in the door with a CHECK.
 
Two totally-different situations, the latter forces the dealership/salesman to 
deeply consider the wise adage: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".  
The latter also washes-away any and all doubt about one's ability to pay, or 
obtain financing.  Lots of people talk the talk, after all.  I'm more-inclined 
to believe that had Jim laid a check on the hood of the car, the salesman would 
have worked to find a way to cash that check, not B.S. Jim to write a new one.  
Just my 0.02 cents.

Well,

Went in and offered them what I thought was a fair offer.

(effectively $140k, likely too much - but still)

Their response was to come down from $159.9 to $157k.

LOL

I feel I have now done my best to "keep it in state".

If anyone knows of any good (no stories, well-serviced)
F430's - and someone actually wants to SELL it to a
bonafide buyer - please think of me.
