A: How much does this car cost?
B: Well, come on in and we'll sit down and discuss that right now. How much do you want to pay?
A: I really was just wondering what the price is.
B: Well, figuring in tax, license, dealer prep, and registration, I can let this car go for fifteen thousand dollars.
A: I was thinking a little lower than that.
B: Whoa! Let's keep talking here. I am sure we can work something out. What price are you thinking is fair?
A: I was thinking more like thirteen thousand dollars.
B: You know, you look like you are a sweet kid. I'll give it to you for fourteen thousand dollars.
A: That would be a good price if the car was in great shape, but it is registered as having been in an accident.
B: OK, thirteen thousand seven hundred and fifty, and that's my final offer.

B: I am sure that we can work something out. What price were you thinking would be a good deal for you?
