Default im interested in this s2k

im new to the forum and need some advice on trying to lower the price of this s2k
its a black 2001 s2k w/ 70,306 and the dealers asking price is 20,888 (price is too high in my opinion for that mileage).
here are some pics of the s2k s2k pics
how much haggle room is there?

70k? Uhm, $20,888 is very high.
I wish I could get 20888 for my 01 with <55k miles.

KBB lists it at 18740 Retail. I'd say you could get it for less even. A sobering thought for those of us who own one.

finance or purchase?

i always walk in w/ briefcase of cash and say my max # and state that only so much will be on title..

either they do it or walk out..

best bet for a finance.. is walk in w/ few other people.. show that u know ur stuff about the car... say what ur willing to pay (go around 1500 lower than ur max) and have them laugh... WALK OUT

they will come after you with a counter offer.... Say no.. i found one down the street for less ill just pay them.. Then he will come back with another lower counter offer.. lets say

u say 17k

he comes back w/ 19k

u keep walking he'll come back w/ 18,5

then u say.. well u go 17,750.. and we got a deal..more than not theyll go for it

its just common sense/bluffing and calling the bluff.. alot of dealers wont haggle in that case WALK theirs always a better deal out ther

ESPECIALLY ON A 2001.. ive seen them FLAWLESS for 16/17/18

they have plastic back window.. and carpet around knob.. so talk "trash" about the car in front of guy and theyll go down.. u gotta remember prices are there for dumb people to pay...if they wanna make a sale theyll work w/ you
