    I told the dealer from Ford & Mazda that there is no way I am paying an extra R10000 and he said it is not negotiable.
    The really fun part of negotiating - claiming not to be negotiable

    What is the most important word in any negotiation?

    NO

    Right we all know that the VW Citi Golf is probability a very easy car to “restore” Now I got a phone call from a local car dealer. He told me he had a 2001 model VW Citi Golf in excellent condition. He then said I must come and have a look at the car.

    I did just that and what a disaster! This poor thing was chopped and changes from about 4 different generation VW’s. Nothing on it was original not even the trimming. But the best part was he tried force it down on me. And yes, “voetstoots” and then I must still get it through the test and everything!

    The worst part of this was that the dealer got offended when I told him “Sorry but no I am not taking it” So I just told him to forget my number. But my question is; how did it end up on the sales floor in the first place? Apparently it was a trade-in...?
