On haggling a private seller?
We are going looking at a vauxhall vectra 2.5 v6 r reg today with an asking price of £695 ono.
How low do you think i can push him and any pointers on the best way to do this?

I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.

Just go in and offer a flat £600 and don't budge from it. Have the money there in your hand on show.
I'm off to look at a classic today. He's been trying to sell it for 3 months. Absolutely nothing wrong with the car - in fact it's probably one of the best examples of that model in the UK but he's dropped it from £1750 to £1400 to "sensible offers" and he's on the jam roll. I have every intention of getting it for £1k.0 -
Be sure to remind him that tax and insurance for those type big engine V6 cars is more now and going up so he's less likely to sell it now

We checked out the road tax and as it is before 2001 not an issue.
It has got all the extras alloys spoiler etc and a brand new tow bar which we needed.
I got him down to £650 which i don't think was too bad as it is really in excellant condition absolutley spotless.I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.0
