Seems to me that this is absolutely the right place for a discussion about pricing, buying, selling, etc--since we spend a lot of time talking about buying and selling doubles. Greg in particular often asks "Is this a good deal?" And he obviously has quite a bit of experience--but always good to have other opinions.

Having lived in an Arab country for two years, I'm used to dickering--and can't quite get used to going to auto dealerships and having them tell me that the price is a no negotiations deal. I'd almost rather go down the road to a competing dealer who will dicker--even if we end up in the same place!


I totally agree, Larry, and as for dickering/haggling, I almost never buy from someone that won't budge a little. To each his own, but half the fun of buying a new vehicle to me is the haggling. I absolutely get high on it. I have been known to drag it on for hours. One of my favorite things to tell a dealer, after beginning negotiations, is "Go make us a pot of coffee, we're gonna be here awhile". Doing your homework ahead of time to make sure you know what they can and can't do is essential, tho'.

Guess I'da made a good Arab. laugh
