Do share your process.
Are there particular cars you recommend over others?
Is there a certain threshold price point you won’t pass? How do you get them down that low?
Well there ain't much of a formal process to it aye.
I'm no pro, it's just how I've done this.
I just keep an eye out for them and check 'em out.
Regarding particular vehicles,...na not really, unless there's something specific in mind at the time.
Other than that, just look for vehicles which look tidy and reasonably maintained.
Price wise, 10k max asking price,...never payed more than $4k, which was a grunty Chevy Blazer I still have rn.
How to hussle/barter, this is where a bit of automotive mechanical know how is necessary,...and as well as a wad of cash to casually flash so the seller gets all hot 'n' steamy.
I simply scrutinize the shit outta the vehicle, give it a real good check over, and take it for a test drive while deliberately acting less than impressed/somewhat disappointed.
If all seems mint, then comes the final stage of bartering.
Ya just gotta remember that in many cases the seller is generally trying to get rid of an excess, unused vehicle and make a quick buck.
They may have unsuccessfully been trying to sell it for months as well.
If they know that you've got the cash right then and there, they're usually pretty eager to accept whatever *reasonable price that's proposed.
#Always start bartering with a low offer, maybe a quarter of what they're asking.
I find it's really quite easy.
I'll never buy another new vehicle from any dealership, especially not on credit.
*Coz, fyi, car salesmen/women are professional husslers and the vehicles are, imo, absolutely over priced.
Hope that answers your questions.
Fuck, and here's me just buying random cars 4sale off the side of the road.
