No , cheap skate your not . You could get there , $21k or less by doing what "Ritchie" does :
Take a long ,long ,long-long time looking at the car .
Shake your head a LOT , Squirmy facial expreesion , occasionally explaining in too vague terms for what you've sized-up the "Mark's" knowledge about cars - tell truthfully , but do EXAGGERATE shortcomings.
Negotiate by repeatedly suggesting this & that makes it a SORT of P.O.S.
Remark how ( Like in Caddy Shack ,Rodney to Ted Knight-the hat!) Nobody but a Dork nerd Zombie be caught Dead w/ IT , in your own "Kind words " of course.
Ya can't stand the COLOR - but you'll "put that aside".
Tell'em how starting with tires and ending with the Hula girl in the back window - NEEDS REPLACING
very soon !
This is evil but - throw a chop garlic in the vent that's EASIEST to get into later- Tell'm CAR SMELLS.
"NHTSA has TCB's & RECALLS up the Ying-Yang. " And DO NOT FULLY EXPLAIN NHTSA !!
Every third sentence out your mouth = this thing really ........... is..........
really...a..
This is a good one - on test drive - when they're not looking - 35 mph - Jerk the wheel HARD L-R ,
then ask THEM
HAPPENED ???
Look into oil filler opening , facial expression like - you know you just stepped in a PILE , then make
some SH$!TT up .
I won't give away ALL the secrets , those ought to get you at least down to $19K .
