Haven't heard of using a broker for a used car, but have friends and family who have used them for new cars.
Why not just pay the extra $500 and be done with it?

just do the deal remotely

My thoughts exactly. Or agree to the $500 if they waive the bullshit documentation fee, which is usually a couple hundred.
How much $ is it gona cost you fucking around to come pick up a car on the mainland?
If its still around try again close to the end of the month,
maybe buddy needs to make quota
Go back in a week's time with your offer of $23k (no fees) and buy the car.
2 hagglers in BC would never get caught up in "the principle of the thing" and lose the deal right?
are you pissed off cuz buddy won't come down or because the car isnt worht 23K?
as for buying a car from away, a friend got a "free" car from her brother, by the time we met them half way in Jasper, paid for gas, food, overnight BnB, 100 $ dollar inspection fee the absolutely free car ... cost 500$
I just went through all this very recently. I wanted a very specific build/truck. I have used a broker in the past but wound up paying more and if you're arguing over $500 I'm guessing you're not going to want to go that route. Make sure you are final price/after taxes and fees and get them to send you the spec sheet with the build and price as it might be missing things when you show up. I used Craigslist mostly as it's got a bunch of really good filters to find specifically what you're looking for. In the end I emailed a ton of dealers and they found me a super good deal on what I'm guessing was a buy back for an enterprise rental. Good luck on the hunt.
