Is 2000 a low ball offer on a 2700 dollar car on craigslist?

He stopped messaging me after i offered that. Its a 2000 ford expedition, looks really good, 190k miles

No, because he might counter offer $2,500 or tell you to go home, you know if you low ball the seller will counter offer you. You must learn to "read" the seller when buying a car, you are in a position of power when you can just walk away rather than set your heart on that car. That's a lowball offer. There's nothing wrong with that. He has declined your offer. Refusing to negotiate is a negotiating tactic. Move up or walk away. I suggest the latter. Give it time and he'll get back to you wait and see if he replies, if not then just let it go and look for another one He considered your offer an insult. Walk or wait for him to call. Even though it is 16 years old. It can STIl have higher value! Your offer is a GOOD ONE! It depends upon MILEAGE, and overall running condition! TIRES and wear! SUSPENSION and wear! BRAKES and wear COOLING SYSTEM condition! Lots to consider! The VISIBLE presentation can be hiding pricey issues!
