One in a million

I was in my local AD on Monday. They have a used two tone blue ceramic sub for 9365.00. It is only a few months old. One owner traded it back in right after buying it. (divorce etc.). Either way, I asked what the best he could do on the price . He hasn't gotten back to me yet.I didmention that AF in Rockville sell them new for that same price. Am I expecting to much for my AD to drop the price to within reason. I did buy a sub from him a few months ago (used). The price was fair considering they serviced it before I bought it. What should I expect from them?, as far as good deals. I am a repete customer ,used their credit card ( paid it off as soon as I got home though).....any insight in thank you for. You guys and gals are very helpful to us newbies.....

Considering AF sells them for $9.365 brand new and this one is a used watch I wouldn't pay more than $8,500

You will always pay a little more at a Dealer; so 20% off may well be "within reason" from their perspective

I agree 100% pre-owned price should not exceed $8500 for it to be considered a "good deal".

Good Luck!!!!!

At 11250.00 retail for a new TTSub C blue and a 20% discount plus tax a new one is about the same as what the are asking for used.

Hit up some reputable grey dealers on ebay and you can do much better. I saved more than 25% on one purchase.

I'm suprised he said I will get back with you on it, he knows what they sell for new, he should have made you an offer right there to get the sale.
