Haggling over a used car

Role-play: you look at a used car — ask about it, find the flaws and negotiate (Kupovina polovnog auta).

Where it happens

Car centre

Who you talk to

Boban (car salesman)
Boban sells used cars and knows a story about each one — though he tells it selectively. Friendly, quick to first names, happy to let you drive it, and mildly put out when you ask for the paperwork, which he nevertheless fetches.

What you need to do

  1. Ask about the car: year, mileage, how many owners.
  2. Ask what has been replaced and what has been repaired.
  3. Point out a flaw you noticed, calmly and without accusation.
  4. The complication: you are hurried — 'someone else is interested'. Do not bite; say you will think.
  5. Make your offer and explain how you arrived at it.
