No, when I asked to negotiate on price he said

Exactly what i said:

“hey hows it going, I’m very interested in the 2000 Civic you had listed, was wondering if you were willing to negotiate on price a little bit as 4 grand for a car with 150kmi seems a little much”

“Well how about if the cars got a brand new paint job, not a scratch on it”

I told him a pintjob doesnt hide and mechanical issues the car may have

he hung up on me…as i was about to ask about a service history etc…

regardless he hung up on me, thats what pisses me off more than anything. if he said he coudlent negotiate on price but said the car is in great mechanical shape, its been compeltely gone thru, so and so has been changed… I woulda been fine with that.
