Paradoxically, this makes an overpriced car a better potential bargain for the rare buyer who doesn’t care about any of these things and submits his offer regardless of how far it is below the ask. He’ll have no competition.
I’m neither offended by a low ball offer when selling, nor reluctant to submit one as a buyer. It’s a free option offered by the buyer with zero downside for the seller.

I’m not talking hypothetically. It’s not a low ball offer if it’s realistic and near the market, regardless of how much lower it is from the ask. And nothing wrong or personal about low ball offers either — they get taken too sometimes. Transactions make the market, at whatever price they occur. The ask is almost irrelevant.

Plus, tell me that you make an offer without a ppi or at least a personal inspection (which is often difficult when looking at cars outside of ones area) and a low ball offer is mostly just bs.

You may not think it’s a low ball offer but if it’s significantly below the asking price the seller probably thinks it is. And that is all that really matters.

2. Offer accepted
3. PPI pass and condition confirmed
4. Sale done
Without agreement on price, no reason to pay for PPI.
Speaking for myself, of course, I almost disregard the ask when presenting an offer and not just for cars.

The dealer selling the Blue GT3 called me as I have placed a bid on eBay.
Told me the reserve price is the "for sale" price of $99,999.
I replied "It's a nice car, but I have no preference for color and there are many others for less" to which he replied "Well, sir, this is a manual 2008 GT3, which is pretty rare".
"Ah. It's a manual. It's rare."

... and if memory serves me, I don't even think eBay will let you set the reserve at exactly the same price as the Buy-it-Now. There is a % below the Buy-it-Now that they force you down to (caveat: Unless that is just for small stuff,.. which is all I have ever sold on eBay. Maybe $100k cars are different).
But yea that is funny. can't make this stuff up sometimes.
