you do not need to explain your offer to him nor justify it, either he takes it or not, maybe he will counter. What is important is that he knows you are serious about buying and not shopping around. Offer him 13% and tell him you can come down and sign paper now if he agree. He may counter and you guys might end up at 11% or so. If he can do 10%, ask him to throw in some rubber mats and clear bra.

the car he is referring to in PA is with me. I'd be happy to sell it Let's make it happen. Will I do 13% off? No. Will I make it a solid deal, quick and efficient? Absolutely. I've sold cars to multiple forum members, and most of those have been to out of state clients.

Ventilated seats, DELETE Front License Plate Holder, Audi connect Guide, Audi Guard Protection Kit , Cold Weather package, Driver Assistance package, Audi Beam - rings, Prestige package, Sport package

Well that’s some solid information! Let’s see if he pulls the trigger. Good Luck!

13 isn't possible? I was able to get 12, maybe could have got more but 12% off in the config I want I called it a day. As many have said on here right now getting 10% off quickly seems to be fairly easy.. its the few percentage after that that drag on.

To the original poster....I would really suggest getting in touch with SCarGuy. I have no relationship or vested interest here, rather just a fellow member that knows he has been a very helpful contributor to this forum and as he has stated a number of times, will be a "solid, quick and efficient buying experience". All of this squeezing the very last drop % off is not worth it IMO. I would much prefer dealing with a stand up rep that will treat you right before, during and after the sale. Just my 2 cents.
