Its good that they know you want it , makes them more keen to sell it and more sure they will, if they think your not sure they wont waste their time..but ya got haggle..haggle ...haggle.....Get em on a bad/slow day for a start, sundays, rainy days etc, days when they have no traffic or sales...change ya mind heaps yes i want it, no i dont, go away , come back, ...act like you cant really afford it...but maybe u could stretch your budget...yeah i want it but you gotta do me a better deal....but then go back to no i cant afford...just play with them and most of all make em sweat and sweat and sweat like they almost have a sale but then dont...last but not least offer them a stupid price , 10% less than what they are asking or something.. just to see what happens....Practice is good..go to car lots and just haggle with salesman over cars you dont even want just to watch em sweat, its fun believe me.. and you will be surprised and some of the deals you are offered, plus you can have fun test driving different cars......i got my wifes 04 accord from 21,000 to 19,500.. which i didnt think was too bad..i made another guy sweat bad on a kia truck went from 20,990 to almost 16,000.. but i didnt buy it..lol. ..he was working that for half a day cutting deals too...poor bloke.....you can usually get extended warranties and stuff thrown in too , but half of them arent worth the paper they are printed on..and sometimes a few services or something.....problem is with hot imports and the like the demand means they know if you dont buy it some other sucker will so they are hard to budge...Basically dont rush... make them sweat on day when they have made no cash.. nobody likes going to work and not making something for the day....wow...did i just write all that, im outta beer . Hope it makes sense, cya

Dealers are a special breed, their aint tricks jst remember that behind their fake smiles, they are esentially retards who will screw you everytime. They know that if they sell a car, they get money and although you wont be back, they will have another person to trick in a jiffy.

treat the car like a leper, get it inspected fully, then see what its worth....offer that and dont pay anymore, they wanna sell it then good. Make sure you get them to organise paperwork very fast and get the car asap so they cant go for a last thrashing, remove parts etc; even take an odo reading.

Im only 22 but have experienced, 8 or 9 buys of new and used cars; 95% of dealers are all scum!

      Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お

      Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s

      Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues.

      What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly

      I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
