Haggled for a car for the first time today, I don't know if this is the right sub for this but I guess I'm looking for critique lol. In short they opened with $24,450, I countered with $23,000, and we ended at $23,750. I actually walked out because they didn't want to go below $24,000 and just sat in my car until the salesman ran out to accept my offer. However, now I'm thinking I really highballed my opening offer, and if I had started at $22,500 or less I could have saved a few hundred bucks. Should I have started lower/increased my bid in smaller increments? Is there any unspoken average % to start at?
