I checked blue book, edmunds, and NADA. It is $500 over the lowest private party value I saw. Do I have negotiating room? I read I should negotiate from private part value, but It is priced about $2500 above the average trade-in value. I was planning on offering $1000 over the highest trade-in value; is this a good place to start?

Your goal is to obviously pay the lowest price possible for the car. I ignore Private Party values because it means nothing. Wholesale is the price you want to pay and an individual should have no expectation of getting more than wholesale price for an old car.

Off them average wholesale as long as it isn’t too far off the asking price. Low balling the offer is only going to insult the seller.

I’m not looking to negotiate something crazy like $200. I was thinking more like $25-50. I’m not sure if it’s poor form to do so. Also, can apartments that are managed by a management company be negotiated like this as well or does this only work in the case of private owners? Thank you.

People negotiate all the time, it’s not rude to ask. You should have a good feel for what area units are going for – and if they are averaging less for a similar place, you’ve got a good point. I’ve found apartments managed by a company can be easier to negotiate with – because it’s business for them, there’s no personal involvement. They’d rather rent it to you for less per month than have it sit empty and earn nothing.

The landlord did say he would negotiate this amount. However, if there is no negotiation concerning the price, he’ll stick to his original rent increase of $250.

What can my Mom say or do to negotiate this? She really doesn’t want to go up in rent. She’s an excellent tenant. Her place is clean and she pays her rent on time.

Thank you!

She will have to explain that she is entitled to his income and unless he is willing to give you 250 a month of his pay she is moving out.

Odds are she will have to move.

If so, what are some tips on successful negotiating the prices?

It really depends on the store owner. The more you go to the shop and get to know the owner and become friendly with him, the more likely that you will be able to negotiate prices with him. I doubt you can just enter a card store and negotiate a price if its your first time in the store, unless the owner is really desperate to sell.

For example, I’ve been going to my local card store for over a year and the shop owner is really nice. I usually go there at least once a week, sometimes just to talk to the owner and not buy anything. If I buy a few packs/single cards, sometimes he’ll throw in card protectors or a deck box for free.

My personal credit score is excellent. I also have money saved up, so that I could get by without using a line of credit, but having a business line of credit will make things more comfortable.
My question is that how can I negotiate for the lowest interest rate? What is the best interest rate available right now?
Are there any other personal or specialty line of credits that exist that would have really low interest rates?

How is the business set up? If it is a sole proprietor then any business line of credit will be tied to you personally anyways. If you have it set up as an LLC or S Corp then that could be different.

If you have a sole proprietor then the bank will use your personal credit to determine if you qualify for the loan. This is probably also true if you are the sole owner of an LLC or S Corp.

You could contact the SBA in your area. They sometimes guarantee loans which could very well get you a lower interest rate from a bank.. but you will need a business plan. The SBA can also help you write one if you need help.

Good Luck!

I know it’s very expensive for a piano, and I’d like to ask the Steinway retail store’s manager to give me a good discount. Usually a new piano can get a discount from 15% to 25%, and that can save me lot’s of money! But I need some advice on how to negotiate, thanks!

is there another store in town? go there and ask what it costs, tell them the other guy is offering a better price and ask if they can do anything. Also check on line for better deals, print them off and take them in to show the sales man. Or say, sorry, my budget is 42,000, pity because I really like this…..

My husband stated a price for it that is quite a bit below even fair market value. How do I negotiate this now & get a fair price for our property?

If the offer was not immediately accepted or acted upon then you have the right to say that it was a feeler price and further research indicated that you were way under fair market value for your property and you don’t want to cheat a legitimate buyer or to be cheated by an unscrupulous buyer so if they want to negotiate in good faith then you will listen to any fair offer that they have to put on the table with a sizable ernest money deposit. Remember if the offer is not written and does not come with a substantial ernest money deposit then it is only talk and let them know that you are not a desperate motivated seller and that if they want to be serious then be serious. They are buying the home so if they want to buy the land then make an offer to buy it don’t try to steal it. Also be upfront and tell them that your husband didn’t understand what they wanted to buy, this happens a lot in complicated deals or multiple deals so go back to the negotiation table and start over separating the house and the land. Good Luck

Right now I am looking at shared apartments (the one where owners/renters are looking for someone to occupy the vacant room). I want to know if it’s okay to negotiate a price. For instance I saw many prices of $350.00. I want a $300.00 per month.
The thing is that housing is not like a car. I have to live with that person(s). I don’t want to sound cheap.

Ask the owner if he/she would consider 300.00 per month. You can negotiate anything.

The minimum distance within which it can stop without skidding is 76 m.

What is the sharpest curve the car can negotiate on the icy surface at the same speed without skidding?

I thought I would have to find μ then plug it into another equation to find the radius. But that got nowhere. Does anyone have any input on this?

Find what the acceleration is for the car to stop using the equation:
v^2=vo^2+2a(x-xo)
where
v=0
vo=95km/hr(convert this to m/s)
(x-xo)=76m

then plug this in to the equation for centripetal acceleration:
a=V^2/r
where a is the magnitude of acceleration you just calculated.
Solve for r.

This a review question something for an upcoming test. I know it has be indorsed and delivered, but is that it? I appreciate any help.

Negotiation of a check (other than one payable to bearer) is competed by indorsement and delivery.
