Assuming you drove the truck & bartered a price with the seller..?
Assuming you had no cash & made no offer when you drove the truck & bartered with the seller..?
Assuming you made no offer because the seller said he was firm on the price..?
If you did not, next time, take cash money to shove in the sellers face...? A $2,000.00 stack of fresh $20.00 bills looks very good & tempting... Maybe have one or two fresh $100.00 bills to also show as you begin to leave..?
P.S. don't flash an envelope with money inside -- pull out the cash & flash it..!
Oh, as you look voice the problems/flaws you see to the seller, they will know why your offer is lower...

Patience & even stopping is good progress; a nice truck will be yours sooner than later... We want pics OK
