You’ve found It. Now comes the fun part; engaging the dealer in a rousing game of Price-Tag Limbo, as in “How low can you go?” First, decide what your top dollar is and stick to it. Be ready to walk away. Ask the seller if the marked price is their “best price.” Offer less, and be ready for counteroffers. A knowledgeable buyer is always respected.
