【买车】与卖家商讨价格-Negotiating a Price with a Dealer

A: How much does this car cost?

B: Well, come on in and we'll sit down and discuss that right now. How much do 

you want to pay?

A: I really was just wondering what the price is.

B: Well, figuring in tax, license¹, dealer² prep, and registration³, I can let this 

car go for fifteen thousand dollars.

A: I was thinking a little lower than that.

B: Whoa! Let's keep talking here. I am sure we can work something out. What 

price are you thinking is fair?

A:I was thinking more like thirteen thousand dollars.

B: You know, you look like you are a sweet kid. I'll give it to you for fourteen 

thousand dollars.

A:That would be a good price if the car was in great shape, but it is 

registered as having been in an accident.

B: OK, thirteen thousand seven hundred and fifty, and that's my final offer.
