Competitively priced for its mileage and configuration. The biggest concern is the maintenance cluster due between 80–100k miles — use it as leverage on price.

What to say back

Real objections, real responses

In the live app you can type or speak whatever the salesperson just said and get an answer written around your actual numbers.

They say

That price is already below invoice, I can't go lower.

Invoice myth

You say

Invoice isn't the dealer's cost — there's holdback and factory money behind it. I'm working off what these actually sell for near me, and that's $27,800 to $28,300. Meet me there and we're done.

They say

The protection package is already installed, I can't remove it.

Pre-installed add-on

You say

I understand it's on the car, but I didn't order it and I'm not financing it. Either take the $1,895 off the price or I'll look at the one 30 miles away without it.

They say

What monthly payment are you trying to hit?

Payment packing

You say

Let's settle the out-the-door number first, then I'll decide on financing. My target OTD is $30,000.

They say

That's the best we can do on your trade.

Trade lowball

You say

Retail comps on my truck are running $21,400 in this market. After recon and margin, $19,200 is a fair wholesale number — your $17,500 is $1,700 light.

Walk-away number

$30,000 out the door

Above this, the deal stops making sense versus the other 42 listings near you.
