So I'm looking at cars to buy and I found a "2012" Mustang V6 with 70k miles for $7,450 (USD) which is a low price. But, the thing is, I was looking at the pictures of the car and 1) it's a manual which is gonna bring down the price because where I live no one drives manual, and 2) it's actually either a 2013 or 2014. I could tell because the of bumper: the licence plate holder place thing is different on 2013/14 models from the 2012, and also a little hole under the lights on the front of the car is different as well. So, I was wondering, how should I proceed to talk to the guy? He doesn't really know what he has I guess, and to be fair, he could have bought the 2013/14 front and rear bumpers by mistake and put it on but I kinda doubt it cause the carfax says it has no accidents and I doubt someone wouldn't report two accidents especially when it caused the bumpers to get replaced. So, should I just negotiate like its a 2012 and hope when he does the paperwork he won't realize it's a 2013/14? or should I just mention that it's actually a 2013 and act like a smartass mustang enthusiast and tell him his car is not worth as much as he says?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
