price rudeness question

[CMF_Pierce]

having found a nice priced second hand gutted engine micra, 1000 dollars all up negotiable, would it be rude to start offers as low as 750? we are probably talking fail MOT, no RWC bought as is. The only good thing about it is the body condition. oh yeah, it's a 96 LX.

i have a micra 95 lx...i bought it for $600, no rwc, engine still good, but i have to replace all brakes,cv joint and shaft, clutch, and AC need to be regassed,need to replace the top eng mounts, all up cost me already $3000....so if its still got a long rego, $750 is just fair...

I got my 95 LX for $2600 with only 65,000klm. No rego though. Got it off an old guy that had it from brand new

If its just a shell then i would be offering no more then 500 all up.

 

[CMF_1300cc]

i agree....coz the wreckers wont even pay $200 for a shell only..

Low ball away in my opinion. I don't understand why some people get butthurt when they get low balled, a person will always offer as little as they think they can get away with and item for and all items are negotiable, even if some people claim otherwise. I wouldn't pay 1k for a busted Micra either.

but wait till it get classic like the mini clubman which i hoped one day will be.....

Always start low.
The seller is obviously wanting top dollar I'm guessing. Everything is negotiable, its what your prepared to pay to get it.
But if it has no engine/gearbox etc then its not worth much. For $1000 you can get one thats complete and in decent condition if you hunt around - There's been a few on ebay that have sold for around that price.

i have 2 for sale need some body work one is auto 4 door needs 60 buck thing to get it going and a manual 2 door that needs a bonnet and head light and is running there both for 2k ono..

on topic i have just sold my s13 and was up for sale for 2k and have had people offer me 1k... i find it rude when u get a half price offer.... but if i got an offer for 1500 i would sell as it is only 25 percent of the asking price

Walk up to the guy and say mate. You want to sell it for as much as you can. I want to pay as little as i can. We need to come to a happy medium. So I will start at say 300 bucks cash now i will take it away.

He will say hmmmm ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I got another guy interested in it. You say Ok make it 450 right now. If he says no leave him your number and walk away. Say call me when your ready to sell.

I reckon he would stop you before you hit the front gate failing that look elsewhere.

[CMF_Pierce]

i like your method sikK11, im going to offer 500 up front, hopefully get it for 650 drive away (or tow).

 

[CMF_sikK11]

I would seriously start at 400 the worth he can say is no mate its a bit low.
