[QUOTE="edgar_raphael, post: 1842431, member: 463"] His car is fast only in his own category lol. It's an old Saga with the 1.5NA carb. engine but replaced with weber configuration and all the light weight performance bits imported from Australia. All of his exhaust are imitation and fake. Even the intercoolers are made in Thailand or neighbouring country. His price is pretty competetive I must say, you can hardly find elsewhere that is cheaper than him, unless you know someone who can do it for you at cost price, but yeah, sometimes he refuse to give discount if he feels unsecure dealing with you. I've seen people come in with a Kenari asking for a straight pipe direct setup this and that, requesting this and that, talk loud, act like a bogan, and at the end of the day, the pocket is dry and empty, how do they get out from there? Loans or later payment, if I am him, I am sure I get pissed off. Your way of negotiating may not work, when you say: "Tauke, eh sai kah pee bor?" of course "beh sai la, beh tan la bla bla bla", because you are asking him if he wants to give you a cheaper price, of course he wouldn't. A more convincing way is "Tauke, lu eh tan ho wah kah ho eh kea chi bo?" translate to, can you give me a better price? He will give you a cheaper than the previously mentioned price, other wise offer a reasonable or nearest offer price to the original price, some discount is better than nothing right? I normally have the exact amount of cash that I am willing to pay him ready, even though if I dont get it, I'll just top up to the final price, otherwise, get ready the cash for the amount you want to negotiate for, tell him you will be willing to pay him right now and then (after finishing the work) for that amount. He would most likely to end up accepting your offer (if he still makes profit) than to waste his time bargaining for you for that 10-20 discount when there are many other customers waiting. The tricks works. [/QUOTE]
