I came across a 2003 Cobra DSG with 21,818 miles. The only mods reported are a JLT RAM intake. The condition of the paint and body look to be great. The interior looks to be just as nice. Its Carfax is clean with only two owners and no reported issues. The dealer is asking $28,900. I feel like it's too high. I offered $24000 and he said that my offer wasn't even close to what they'd consider entertaining. He said, "typically the maximum we can negotiate is a few hundred to put a deal together". What is everyone's opinion? Am I too low, or are they too high???

I think they're a little high. Could see maybe 25-26.

The dealer is definitely too high. They'll come down in price as the dust settles on the car.
you'd be surprised
ass for every seat
if they're asking more than you're willing to pay, move on. There's more cars out there

I am usually amazed at how much some dealers ask, and then how little some individuals will take. There are deals to be had if you are patient, although they aren't usually close by it seems.
I got tired of looking and paid a little too much, but it was exactly what I wanted, in the condition and mileage I wanted, and right in my zip code.

I bought my Mercedes on a Friday with cash, the salesman questioned the manager and got “ you want paid don’t you? “ car sold
That's fairly low mileage but that's not a 29k car.
Too many cars on the market to take it in the shorts on this one.
Winter is coming, prices will drop some, keep on looking & don't get in a hurry.
The market here has some good cars to choose from at times.
Good luck with the search!

Yup, too high. Just like mentioned above, winter is coming.. Prices will drop 2-3k over the next couple of months.
some people get desperate around the holidays.

After my $24K offer was turned down, I was thinking of offering somewhere between $25K and $26K. Someone commented yesterday the same thing. How does a price upwards of $26K sound? I've been looking for a Cobra for a long time and am relatively familiar with normal, fair pricing with respect to the various factors of mileage/mods/condition etc, but figured it's never a bad thing to check with others who are in the know; especially since many out there probably have better insight and actual experience; the latter of which I have none.
It's too much. They want GT500 money for that car. If they already said they'd only negotiate down a few hundred, walk. Make sure the sales manager has your number. When he calls you, offer him 23 out the door and not a penny more. If he doesn't call, no worries...there are other fish. After all the fees & taxes you'll be $30k in that car.
