I feel bad I just paid $6000 out door for a 2012 F150 with 277k the guy at dealership said he losing money but will do sale any way. I offered him $6000 out door,he said no at first then as was out door he said he could do it I feel like should told him no. Too me don't matter there other cars out there I did need it I just felt $6000 was good price and did think would take it.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

How polished were the marble floors? Used cars values are high and he did not give it away.

Just read an article that some used trucks (I’m sure low mileage & good condition) are selling for more than their original sticker price. Sounds like you did alright, from everything I have seen it’s a sellers market with new & used trucks in short supply.

When salesmen say things, it is usually loaded with lies to manipulate you.

Dude, horrible deal. Should’ve found a 6k Camry or Accord that’ll run forever, you’ll soon be needing a tranny and/or engine rebuild.

No,
You blurted it out in hopes to get a discount.

It didnt work and they looked down on you as you dont have a steady income.
That is what they looked at.

Not once have I ever blurted out what I do for a living.
I get the out the door price and go from there.

How to buy a car

How much is the car?

When they start asking me about trade in etc I look at them and ask "How much for the car"

Actually no because I didn’t have pay stubs because my LLC hasn’t gone through yet. If you knew anything about me before making that comment you would know I never expect anything for free or a discount. I don’t even trade services for for that exact reason. What I do expect is to be treated with respect and given a fair shot. Yes I am a escort but I’m also a human and work a rl job and earn everything I have. If you would like to actually get to know me and how I am different. Feel free to PM me and ask away.

No I have three Ford trucks with between 250K and 290K. No problems with any of them and they all look like new. I am thinking about getting all of them replaced this year, while the price is new and we can write them all off under section 179. I have found that Ford trucks give the best service, at least for us.

If anyone is interested we have one left over Dodge 1 ton with a flatbed and about 389,000 miles the last time I looked. The problem with Dodge is that they all seem to need to replace part of the Air Conditioner at about 60,000 miles, which we did on this one.

I just sold a 26 year old Escort. She was a beauty, and in perfect shape. The guys at the dealership all commented that she looked like she just came off the showroom floor. A top dime girl. She was a low use girl with only 42,000 miles. That is only about 1600 miles per year. During the last couple of years, it was sad because only once a month or two did I take her out to warm her up a little.

A good friend got her and he made a promise that he would keep her indoors and treat her kindly, and warm her up and use her several times a week. I hope she is happy.
