Yeah I know it's over KBB but I also know that the car lot is not going to sell it w/o them getting a commission.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade- really, I'm not! I would just hate to see you pay more for something when you don't have to!This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business.
And on the other hand, the last vehicle we bought, we paid the individual's asking price- still below KBB retail, but above the average price for that vehicle, because the van was in great shape and had really low miles and a few other pluses that are hard to find.
Heck, unless there is some reason you have your heart just absolutely set on this one car, print this quote from KBB out, and take it to them, and see what happens- I'm thinking that the "bird in the hand" mentality just might win out with them- lol
Again, Good luck!
