Rcf negotiation help!?!
Hello CL,
So I am currently looking for a ISF if that is not possible to obtain then my second option would be the 2015 RC350. Only problem, I think it’s a-little to sluggish for my taste. I know there is the RCF which is wayyy out of my price range so i’m asking. How much money do you think I can get off on this car? Are there any tips and tricks I can say to the dealer for them to lower the price? Here is the car link

It says 72 days already at that CarMax!!!
Usually at day 90......the manager there will send it back to the auction. So that MAYBE the time to go in and deal with the manager.
I don't see the mileage listed? Did I miss it?
Also you know that RCF does not have the CF roof/CF active wing, right? It's just a vinyl wrap. No TVD either which may or may not be good for you depending on how you look at it.
IDK, maybe they are asking too much? Or the market is just too soft after Christmas? Also there are many other possible options in that price range and below.
Keep looking.........

i checked CarFAX. Clean with 1 Owner off lease. Nice enough looking car, but it's a wrap CF roof/spoiler and aftermarket wheels. Gorgeous car and probably worth a little less than asking, but Supply/Demand is on their side for pricing. IMO, worth the extra over RC350 and ISF.

Don't forget the car insurance and maintenance costs which for the RCF is gonna be a lot higher vs Civic.

Man, the guy is only in high school. Don't put crazy ideas out for a youngster who is looking for guidance. Salvage cars are always a bad idea and also, RCF parts are expensive. Even regular wear and tear items like t\ire, brakes, gas, maintenance etc. cost quite a lot. Even if he put his money together to buy an RCF, it still costs a pretty penny to maintain it.
It would be helpful if the OP would tell us what his budget is, and perhaps we could tell him if that is realistic for an RCF. I would agree that buying a salvage title car is a bad idea.
There was a local kid who had an ISF in high school that i met at the cars and coffees years ago. Good kid, scholarship and college bound and all of that. He still got himself in a bit of driving trouble and ended up getting forced to sell it by his parents. It's a lot of car for a new driver. I know I didn't need 400+ hp at 17yrs old.

AMEN to that.
A few years ago I was contemplating on giving my college age son my MB SLK55 AMG HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE. BUT I decided not to. Traded it in for a late model MB GLA250 4Matic SUV instead.
Too much horsepower at a young age = TROUBLE.
