How much lower could I go?

I found an 08 athens blue with 12k miles. The interior was pretty dirty, not that it really matters and a few noticeable scratches on the clear coat which they said they would buff out.

its manual fully loaded...navi, tech,rear view cam

They are asking $32,900. A lot of you guys have purchased g's and have more buying experience then I since this is my first car that ill finance. How much lower can I go? I was thinking of just telling them 30k? I do have a car currently and I want to trade it in or sell it for a G as soon as I can but don't necesarily need to do it today but these cars are pretty rare so if the price is right I'll jump on the deal. I want an 08 g37s and just happened to come across one I like.

Thanks for reading.

Offer $30k and see what they saw, worst is they say "no" and you offer more. You can do better, but yeah AB is a rare color so if they're smart they can get better than avg price..

I wish you luck. Maybe you could find a consultant that works with companies that can hook you up with a job? I don't know how the web design business works and how you find customers but that's how my job is. I work with several consultants that find me clients and then they get a % of the profits that the company makes becuase they found the client.

I paid $27,920 for the one I got (see sig). More miles, fewer features, so don't expect to get that low. I'm guessing it's the sport coupe? Edmunds prices that out at around $29,538 private party value and $32,257 dealer retail for "average" condition and $31,543 private party / $34,347 dealer retail for "clean" condition.. I'd say aim for around $30.5K, so offer lower.

Ouch, they murdered you on the finance rate, if you have good credit, I would have bought new, with the low apr nowadays for new car, payment would have been not too far apart.

Go refinance with Pen Fed, 3.99%! www.penfed.org

8.9% is going to kill you

You just got pwned by the finance rate. They made money off the sale and they made even more on the finance rate.

I wont be surprised if you get a letter in the mail a few months from now stating that the lender for your loan has changed as the dealer has sold it to a 3rd party bank.
