INSTRUCTION:
In class Activity: Negotiate USED CAR, lecture and simulation discussion
Below is some more information about participating in negotiation simulations:
- The course uses structured negotiation simulations to provide students with opportunities to practice negotiating. In these simulations, students take on a fictional role with specific desires and constraints and negotiate against counterparts in order to meet goals stated in their role instructions. Having a thoughtful approach to this form of learning will help you get the most out of the simulations. In approaching your simulations please aspire to the following:
- Commit to playing the exercise faithfully, as it was written, in a way that maximizes the intended learning for you and your counterpart(s).
- Do not show you role instructions to the person you are negotiating with
- Be yourself. You are taking on a role with a specific portfolio of interests, to which you should adhere. However, the role descriptions should not supplant your better judgment. Remember, you are trying to develop your own negotiation style that fits you.
- When you are unsure about what is expected or unclear about what the correct answer to your opponents questions is, make your best guess.
- Observe your emotions. Even in stylized exercises, there are opportunities for real disagreement and conflict escalation. Understanding your emotional response as tensions arise is a vital negotiation skill.
- I will be walking in to observe your negotiation tactics. Don’t let my presence distract you. I will watch you for a few minutes and leave.
- Keep it confidential. You may not show your role instructions to the other side, although you are free to tell the other side whatever you would like about your confidential information.
- Do not make up facts or information that materially change the power distribution of the exercise. Specifically: You may not lie about your best alternative to the current deal.

Exercise 1 The Used Car
Introduction
The scenario for this role-play involves a single issue: the price of a used car that is for sale. While there is a great deal of other information that may be used to construct supporting arguments or to build in demands and requests in addition to the price, the sale price will ultimately be the indicator used to determine how well you do in comparison to other role play groups.
Background information You are about to negotiate the purchase/sale of an automobile. The seller, who lives in the same city as the buyer, advertised the car is an online listing. Before advertising it, the seller took the car to the local Volkswagen dealer, who has provided the following information:
• 2016 Volkswagen Jetta S sedan, 2.5L five-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning, front wheel drive, dual air bags, cruise control.
• Black and grey interior, power door locks, heated seats, power windows, and AM/FM/CD stereo.
• Mileage: 51,000 miles, radial tires expected to last another 30,000 miles. • Fuel economy: 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, uses regular (87 octane) gasoline. • No rust; dent on passenger door barely noticeable. • Mechanically perfect except exhaust system, which may or may not last another 10,000
miles (costs $650 to replace). • Blue book values: retail, $12,100; trade in, $9850; private party, $10,500. • Car has been locally owned and driven (one owner).
Confidential Role Information for BUYER
Your car was stolen and wrecked two weeks ago. You do a lot of traveling in your job (approximately 50,000 miles per year), so you need a car that is economical and easy to drive. The Volkswagon Jetta that was advertised online looks like a good deal, and you would like to buy it right away, if possible. The insurance company gave you $8,500 for your old car. You have only $1,500 in savings, money that you have intended to spend on a long-overdue vacation – a recreational opportunity that you really don't want to pass up. Your credit has been stretched for some time, so if you have to borrow any money, it will have to be at an interest rate of prime plus 5%. Furthermore, you need to buy a permanent replacement for your old car quickly, because you have been renting a new car (a Chevrolet Malibu sedan) for business purposes and when the insurance-covered rental benefit runs out (as it will, shortly) the rental costs will become prohibitive. This Jetta is the best option you have seen. As an alternative, you can buy immediately a higher-mileage 2013 Jeep Liberty ( automatic transmission, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo, 6-cylinder engine, 87,000 miles in very good condition) for $8,100 (the trade-in value). The Liberty’s fuel efficiency is only 17-21 miles per gallon, and it will depreciate faster than the Jetta. The seller of the Jetta is a complete stranger to you.
