This could just as easily be the used car manager coming over to introduce himself and explain that he already offered a killer deal. He’ll insist that he couldn’t possibly knock off another cent. He *may* be able to throw in a year of free oil changes.
The mediator will see that as negotiating in good faith and will be unlikely to move in either direction. I’m cautiously optimistic as well, but I believe another inconsequential meeting is just as likely as a consequential one.
