The words "final offer" and their equivalent are used too often in negotiations. If you say that your offer is a final one, and you have not yet reached your LAS, you face problems of credibility if you later discover that you have to make concessions in order to reach an agreement.
You can use the words "final offer" when you have reached your LAS, but even here there is a potential danger if you negotiate with the same individual frequently. If they recognize that you only use the term "final offer" when you have reached your LAS, they will simply negotiate with you until they hear those magic words. All in all, it is probably best to use the words "final offer" or their equivalent very infrequently and only when you have carefully considered their potential negative effects.
