So with this service model, I essentially want to tell them I have a deal at $41K for a new car, and am willing to take this used model off their hands for $36K 
I will offer it to them with the condition that it passes an inspection from an independent mechanic... worst thing that happens is they say no haha |
Give it a try...like you said, worst that can happen is they say no. Like I said, I personally would rather have the brand new one, but that's easy for me to say sitting at my keyboard, when its not my money. There is the part about saving $5K in the process, lol.
That being said, if your plan doesn't work for whatever reason, did the first guy at Royal Oak say (or at least acknowledge) the $5k trade offer in writing? Cause if so, you have some leverage with him...but even if he didn't, you can always go to his boss and ask if he's
really willing to lose out on a sale over a measly $1000.
