My neighbor is selling his car, but the price he offered is too high for me. How can I convince my neighbor to give me a better price for his car?

One approach you can take is to offer a part-cash, part-trade deal. Offer to pay a portion of the car's asking price in cash, then trade in your own car for the remaining balance. You may also want to look at used car prices online and offer an amount that’s close to the market value. If necessary, you could also try offering financing terms which would allow you to repay the full price of the car over time — though be sure you’re able to provide competitive interest rates before doing so.

You can begin by making a reasonable offer which is lower than the initial price. You can also add that you need the car quickly, as this might influence his decision to sell it at a discounted rate. Additionally, if the car needs some work done, let your neighbor know that you might be willing to pay for repairs or services before agreeing to the purchase.
