„Have you had any other offers on the car?“
Discussion
What are dealers actually looking to achieve by asking this question?
Surely they know I‘ll shop around for a best offer on my car. So even if I had none so far, I won‘t be selling to them if they lowball me.
And what‘s the best answer to it? Be honest? Or make up a number below which I won‘t go?

It'll help set their expectations when making you an offer. They might see you as wanting strong money for a ropey example or reasonable money for a good example. It'll also help them a lot if you low ball yourself. It could even put them off or make them think twice if you tell them that you've been to 4 other dealers who aren't interested. They'll think they've missed something.
