Seller Asking Price: $ 35.9K
Final Sales Price: $32.5K
Est. Published Value, if known (KBB, NADA, Galves, etc.): kbb: $39.9K
Other Comments (amount of time in the market, successful negotiating tactics, words of advice, etc.): I was searching for this car for 3-4 weeks, intermittently throughout the day. I checked craigslist, cars.com, autotrader, ebay, used euroauto dealerships and any other websites google displayed on a daily basis...several times a day. It paid off because I was able to locate the car, call and make sure it was still available, make a deal over the phone, and place a good faith deposit before it was sold. According to the dealer, they were getting a lot of calls inquiring about this vehicle, and a few were willing to pay more than what the dealer was asking. By the way, Ronnie Mcfarland at Coggins BMW (Fort Pierce, FL) is a great salesperson and will do what it takes to get you what you want for the price you want (hard to believe, lol)...highly recommended...Tell him Jovan from Largo, FL sent you.
