How to deal in good faith?

Asked by Fred May 29, 2021 at 12:10 PM about the 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata SE

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

I have an offer from someone to buy my car under the asking price.  The car has only been on CG for two days so I'd like to wait a bit longer to see if more bids come in.  My options for a response is yes, no, or counter.  Do I get to explain my reasoning if I say no?

I would counter at the original price, explaining why you value your Miata. Note that ALL pre- owned vehicles jumped in value greatly in NADA's May lists. As much as +$2k for older stuff too! So stay in the driver's seat, eh?
