Haggle - Dispute or bargain persistently, especially over the cost of something
Why I think Haggling is stupid
For big items (like a car) unless you are haggling over ~1k+ I believe it’s not worth it. Of course it also depends on the overall price of the car but for most cars I feel like haggling over < 1,000 dollars isn’t worth it.
- Spend time looking for another buyer (if one’s even going to approach you)
- Show off the car to them by taking time out of your day
- Haggle with them which sucks
- Finally exchange money for the title and keys
This might be worth it if your time isn’t worth anything but in my opinion the time and convenience isn’t worth it. I might also be whining because I was about to buy a 2000 Mazda Miata NB1 and the deal fell through because of a haggle war over $500 USD.
Oh beautiful Mazda Miata, I really liked this car. It drove well, it was local, the dude selling it was nice, and most important of all it’s a MANUAL
