what do you think i could realistically get it for ?

i was looking @ cr's but that car is just not practical since it's top on or off.

 

For one, it's not 120 hp/L on that car. hahaha

Figure 50% residual for 3 years, so about 60% for 2 years. Add back some for lower than usual mileage. IMO, that car is about high-20's to low-21's.

 

i'll offer 20 and wait for a counter then

 

Or they'll just blow you off and not want to bargain.

You do have to realize that you'll get the door closed on you if your offers aren't anywhere near reasonable.

Why don't you offer what you are willing to pay and what's a fair price. When they try jacking up the price, say: "I told you what I'm willing to pay. It's a price that is fair for both of us. Here's my time frame. Take it or leave it."

None of this lowball BS expecting them to counter high, then meeting in the middle.

When I bought the CR. I just offered them the fair price. They thought about and took it.
