    looked at a marauder yesterday

    Happened to be in the area of where a Marauder is for sale, so we went to look at it. As you can see the brakes are pretty rusty, and the back bumper was all scuffed up. Didnt get to see the interior,(but through the windows it looked good) but am probably going to look at it again on sunday with my dad. the car has 70k miles on it, and the nissan dealership it is at wants $10,988. what do you think would be a fair offer?

    yeah, I saw that one in the area. Vacaville, right? Looks a little beat for 69K, however, it appears mostly cosmetic and that gives you some good leverage. I noticed it's been there for awhile; that could also give you some leverage negotiating-wise.

    exactly what I was thinking, and yes this is the same car. About how long has it been there? I did try to ask him how long they had it but he changed the subject

    From what I've seen, at least 2 or 3 months. I know there's nothing a dealership hates more than dead stock.

    Also, at the price they're offering: they probably didn't give the dude who traded it a penny over 8K.

    If you decide its worth pursuing, offer 9,000 and work your way to a deal. How bad they want to unload it will determine where you will "meet" on price. Good luck!

    Factor in the tax and the additional costs, you'll be just under $10K out the door. Start around $7500-$8K and see what they counter offer.
    Is this a 03 or 04?

    No offence here, but I hope your father is good at this. Reason being that no sales person will negotiate a auto sale with a minor, since you want the car you know this correct? Also you know the LEGAL reason why, correct?
