Encounter with a dealer

I am Korean and the worst customers to deal with are Koreans and Indians. My neighbor who is Indian asked for a interior detail on her Minivan. Her Minivan was in horrendous shape and would probably need 20+ hours of detailing. I quoted her $300 because she was my neighbor and then she was asking for more discounts. I then told her $200 was the best I can do and she was asking me if she wrote a review, I could lower the price down to $60. Keep in mind that I charge extra because I use only purified gallon waters for my extractor/steamer and each gallon cost 80 cents. For her car, I would probably use 50 gallons or more water! I told her $160 was my final offer and she said that she was going to make an appointment the next day. Until this day, no phone calls and I am super happy! Not being racist but in truth, people from India are discount hungry and I just now block them on my phone calls! Not all of them are, but most of them! Koreans are also stingy with money and will not pay a premium for detailing.

Just saying that people will not pay for the premium detail even if we are working are arse off! The opt mention that the customer did not want to pay a premium for a detail and was shocked with the price he gave him. My point is, most people would think that our work is overpriced!
 
Same thing happened to me, except I was finished doing the work and he said at the beginning just let me know the price after you finish I need them to look brand new, I finished 1 car in about 7 hrs. Work done: light quick polish, wash, headlights, engine, shampoo carpets and seats, "make leather shine" lol his demand even when I said leather shouldn't shine, remove paint from the auction, remove flood water from the hatch, spray under car. I told him it would be 300, his response "I can take it down the street for 50$-70 what did you do for 300$" lol he ended up paying it but I never accepted another call from him
