Alright, well I’m looking at this 2001 Pontiac Firebird. It looks pretty sweet, ram air hood and some kind of (custom?) front bumper, and I’d really like to buy it. However, it’s priced WAY too high, and has nothing much special that makes it different from other v6 Firebirds besides the bumper. It has 93,000 miles, 5 previous owners and has been in a fender bender. It’s priced at about ,000. I’ve seen a Firebird with 2/3 the miles, no accidents and 2 owners (but without the neat front bumper or hood) priced at 00. Also a white convertible with 2/3 the miles for k. Also the k car is manual and the 7.9 and 9 are autos. On the k, one of the lights on the front doesn’t work, but that’s probably easily and cheaply fixable. The NADA price for the Firebird clean retail is 00.
So pretty much what I’m asking, is do car dealers intentionally price cars way too high? And is there any way to talk him down 00-00 on the car? There’s no way that thing is worth ,000…
