Replying to: rdriver (Nov 03, 2008 4:42 pm) After seeing how bad the cars sales are off this past month, dealers are going to be getting very aggressive in trying to move inventory. We will eventually see dealers making deals that are cutting into their holdback money, just to move inventory. I think he will take your 39G offer w/the extra warranty. One thing I don't understand is how he is going to sell a car he bought on an auction as a "demo". If it was sold on an auction, it is "used", and that is how I would refer to it when you are negotiating to buy it. The warranty transfers either way. Maybe it is a "demo" but that adjective has more value than "used". Anytime he calls it a demo, clarify that it is "used". That will help your offer sound more attractive. Good Luck.

Also, given that the car was never titled, why is it that the warranty has already started six months ago? Can you shed any light on this? You are a tremendous help.

Replying to: rdriver (Nov 04, 2008 8:15 am) Hey, we both know a car with 300 miles on it is the same as "New". If it has never been wrecked and it spotless, it is the same as a new car. Lucky for you, because of the 300 miles on the odometer and the fact that it is on it's 2nd owner, you can call it "Used". All things being equal, if there were 2 cars with 300 miles on them, which one would you think is worth the most? Answer: The dealer "Demo" car. Which one would you think is worth the least? Answer: The "Used". That is why when you are talking to the dealer about this car, you should refer to it as a "Used" car instead of a "Demo", even if the dealer calls it a "Demo". The dealer will call it "Demo", because the public is trained to think a "Demo" car is closer to "New". When you are negotiating your price with the dealer, you mentally devalue the car by referring to it as a Used car. Hope that makes since....It is just a play on words. That being said, I would stay firm on getting the Extended warranty included for your 39G price. Let me know how it turns out.
