💬 Negotiation Script

Use these lines word-for-word with the seller. They are grounded in real data.

1.

"I've done my research and I'm ready to move forward at the asking price."

2.

"I'd like to confirm the maintenance history is up to date before we finalize."

3.

"Can you include a full tank of fuel and touch up any minor cosmetic issues?"

4.

"I'm happy to make a decision today, but only at a number that makes sense given the data."

Market walk-away is $27,600 — asking price of $23,000 is already below that. Use these lines to confirm the deal and push for extras.
