No, that falls squarely into the wasting time category. If I ask a dealer to match a deal, it’s because I’m signing with them.
I wouldn’t ever take a dealer an offer, ask them to match it, and when they say yes, say “ok, just kidding. I want more”
I usually don’t bother with that. As the clock is winding down and I have what I believe is my best price I will circle back and give every dealer that I’ve deemed worth talking to an opportunity to beat the quote I have in hand. I don’t think I’ve ever actually run into a situation where any of them took me up on that chance. If I’m reaching out it’s to beat what I already have, giving some weight to things like geographic proximity. If you’ll match it and you are 10 minutes away from me, that’s a win.
I understand however when you mentioned “readjusting” I am wondering what that meant?
Apologizes to the OP if I commented off topic too much.
I’m referring to being able to go back to a dealer and increase my offer later if necessary.
