No theory, no waffle. Here’s a taste of what’s inside, word for word.
“I’ve got my finance sorted. What I need from you is your best drive-away price on this exact car with no add-ons.”
“The dashboard range guess is not a battery health check. If a seller won’t provide or allow a proper battery health report, assume the worst and price it in, or walk away.”
“I have a written offer for [higher figure] from a buyer who’ll pick it up this week. If you can match that, I’ll trade it here for convenience.”
