I've had a couple times when looking to buy a car
that I've had to tell the guy (usually at a dealership) that the only way I'd
buy the car is if they give it to me for a couple hundred bucks. It
usually finally tells them to leave you alone...at least about that certain
car.
As for people selling a car and a buyer asks the
"bottomline," it doesn't really surprise me, but I wonder how many people ask
that question and actually expect a straight answer. Maybe they were never
taught the art of negotiating but simply think they need to make one offer and
that will either be a sale or a no sale.
I suppose the best response is to just tell them to
look at the price on the window and if they don't like it they can make an
offer.

I know that some people, and that included
me until I was in my 30's, (long time ago) are on the shy side when
dickering with sellers. I was with a friend of mine when he was dealing
on a car and he was afraid to make the offer he thought he could live
with. When the salesman walked out of the room, I asked if he wanted me
to say anything to the sales guy. He asked me.. "How do you do that, I
am almost embarrassed to tell him what I would pay."
I said to him, " Bob, your wife tells you no
all the time, and you live thorugh that. Just ask, all he can say is
no"
