YYSSW ... in such “hot demand” that the car is selling so quickly ... show up next week and ask about that “hot demand” response and resubmit an offer (if possible face-to-face). It can take many times if they are wanting to actually sell it. Tell them each time to call you when the price drops. Best time to bug them with a hard-nose offer is last week of every month for the next three months ... or set your eyes on a couple more and do this until one gets accepted. No harm ... and its winter.My offer was refused and he didn't counter offer and says they are in hot demand but it's been for sale by the previous owner for a year and another 4 months by the dealer. Looks like he really wants 58K for that car. I guess it's the end of the road for that one. Onto the next hunt.

- some may not have the patience to do this which is completely understandable -
I reread his message because I was a little upset about the response, sure I put a low starting offer so we could negotiate so I could end up paying just right. I even offered to pay it cash, no financing. He said he was insulted by my offer. He said it was the opposite since people will have to wait several years, that's right he said several years to get a C8 just like the C6, he continued on it's a hot commodity and they are only allocated a few C7s for sale. Then to contradict himself a little he said yeah it takes months to sell one.
Based on that response never in a million years I would want to waste an entire day driving there to get the same answer for a 500$ rebate. I have no other choice than to be patient it's winter! If only If I could buy red seats I could put them in another grey car. Ok I'll lay low for another 3 weeks and submit another email offer for a few K more? I just know he'll never go down to my high side which for him will be another lowball insult. My gut instinct tells me he doesn't want to let it go below 56 500$.
A dealership would prefer it if you financed. Cash doesn't mean anything.
They may have put way too much into it and would not be willing to sell it for less. If they gave the previous owner $56k for it, if they're advertising $58k, they won't drop below $57k until they're desperate.
I see that and they don't mention a thing about any vandalized cars....... Guess you find out at purchase......[QUOTE="SN-III, post: 187803, member: 325
There’s 30 new at capital chev in calgary that are not flying out the door.
That guy can cry a river saying “he’s insulted” with an offer. Its part of his job and should grow up on that childish response in this day of the millennial. You are now a well informed buyer to move along ... people are not lined up for C7 and earlier. If they were, i know three used C7s and soooo many new ones that are ready to go.

“Balloon knot”.....lol. You sir win the internet.....Walk away.
He doesn't understand jack S about the art of "salesmanship".
Some dealers are like that. They all seem to have one or two salesmen on staff that are just jerks. Seems like you had the misfortune of dealing with one of those guys.
If they have too much into it, so what? Exactly how does that matter to you? That's their problem for making a bad deal from who they got it from and now they're trying to make it someone else's problem by sucking as much cash out of you as possible. Eff that. You're not there to bail them out of the s-hole they've dug for themselves. If they screwed up, they just now don't
When I was selling cars (admittedly, many decades ago), guys who were "lowballers" were a major PITA, but at least they were making an offer. That told me they were at least interested in the vehicle so a potential sale was there. Sometimes you could work them into the price range you wanted to sell at, sometimes you couldn't. Sometimes a "lowballer" just doesn't have enough money, sometimes they're just frugal (or cheap if you prefer).
Making an auto sale is WORK, actual, hard, stressful WORK. if you just want to move the occasional vehicle, you can sit around and wait for the "right guy" to show up and you can afford the luxury of being "insulted". If you want to move a lot of vehicles and make a nice fat monthly paycheck, you need to work every single person who comes through the door, whether they are looking for a car or not. Heck, I've sold new cars to people who were just coming in for service or parts. Strike up a convo as they walk around the floor while waiting and next thing you know they were actually considering that new car or truck I pointed out to them. Sometimes we were signing papers that day, or soemtimes they woudl be back later in the week (usually with their missus).
Sounds like you got a guy who wants a paycheck and to do minimal work for it.....brush him off like he's dandruff, walk away, find another car.
Heck, you never know; he might call you next month when they haven't moved the car and then you can tell him you're "insulted" he called and jam that thing right up through his "balloon knot"....
How about "Chocolate starfish" then?“Balloon knot”.....lol. You sir win the internet.....
@Tourmax I love your comment! Just plain awesome, the attitude with the Capital letters in his reply email with "OFFER REFUSED" left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Chocolate starfish...took me a while to figure out what limp bizkit was refering to! haha
Anyway here's another car that's very interesting to me, red dash trim red seats and Oh my gosh the Akrapovic exhaust sounds crazy. There's a few Youtube videos and it's just nuts. The private seller sent me a reply a few minutes ago and so far so good, he drove it good but he didn't do burnouts or doughnuts.. I'm looking for advice and opinions on this one. Asking price 61K.
