Recently I was asked to find a rare car for my friend and my friend told me that we would look at it soon, I found it and we are going to be looking at it soon.

If incase the deal gets closed, how much finders fee should I ask him? The car is worth around $290,000-$310,000.

    He specifically told me he’d give a finder’s fee, which I admit is my fault for not specifying how much.

    Although, I did most of the work ensuring that the car is great. Has a few thousand mileage, kept in original condition, nothing to restore. The only thing I didn’t do is to negotiate the price which he’ll do.

      Call your mate and discuss. Ask him what he was thinking would be fair, be able to justify it by explaining in detail the time and money you put in.

      Treat it as if you’re providing him with an invoice. For example “I traveled $x worth” and “I spent X amount of time then and then” etc. Don’t be emotional about it. You provided a service, this is what you spent to provide that service and go from there.
