Negotiation Analysis
Negotiation
Tsai Tzong-Fang (Kelly)
I have stayed in Chicago for seven months. Everything like housing, school works, livelihood and so on are going well. However, I found something really inconvenient when I go to Costco or Target to buy some daily necessities. I always have to carry lots of stuffs home after purchase. I feel so tired about that especially in this chilly weather. Therefore, I decided to buy a car to solve this problem. Then, I asked my friends and parents which kinds of car is fit for me.

He said he can sell me the car at USD$ 15,500 but I told him it 's too much for me. After few conversations, he asked me what will I do later. I told him I had an appointment with HONDA 's seller to try cars. I understood that I can 't lie about my BATNA but I supposed that it will help at that time. Then, he tried to convince me to believe why the price he sold was higher than what I though. If my concept is right, he
