From his perspective, it's supply and demand, there might be demand for the car, so he doesn't want to lower the price if he doesn't have to.

So how is he "jerking you" and more than you're "jerking him?" There's nothing wrong with your strategy, and unless he's lying to you about something there's nothing wrong with his.

Well, I haven't been posting everything that he's written obviously. To summarize with approzimate figures - Twice he's come back and said "well, this is the lowest I can go". This process started at dealer invoice + 850. A couple days later it was at dealer invoice. A couple days later it was at dealer invoice - 650. Each time it's the lowest he can go.

So of course he's playing the game. I am too, no doubt, but my offer hasn't changed (was at dealer invoice - 1400) except to offer splitting the difference between his last offer and my original. Which I found odd that he didn't accept, really, as that wasn't much of a difference.
