Well you offered 1500 less that what he was asking over the phone on a car you have not even seen in person. Im sure there is alot more to this story then what your telling. I have sold cars for many years and my number one rule is I dont nego the price over the phone. People that offer 7800 will always show up with only 7500 or less. And most people that try to Nego over the phone are not serious buyers anyway.
