So i am hopefully a potential buyer for a 2024 Acura TLX Type S. I’m new to this and trying to learn the process as i go, but ill give a breakdown of where im at.

So firstly i got pre-approved for $40,000 with chase at a 6% interest rate so I’m comfortable there and I’m willing to put down 10,000 to $15000. So my Max budget is at $55,000. The car I’m looking at is at $59,000 out the door, i shot an extreme lowball of my budget being $50,000 out the door through text and was told we are about $10,000 off from a deal. Should i respond with my absolute highest ($55,000 out the door taxes and fees included) or ($53,000 out the door taxes and fees included). Also please let me know if you have any insight into how Ford handles stuff and if they are even willing to work with me to get the sale. It’s hard cause I’m also in a different state so all communication is through text. I guess my question is… how do i respond after being told our prices are too far apart considering my max is 5k off from their asking price and they have not lowered the amount for me in any way to this point.
