Okay, I have been looking for one specific car in my area, and by area, I have expanded my search quite a bit, partially just to see if anyone anywhere has any concept of Blue Book, and they do not seem to. There is another HX for sale, 180,000 miles, and they are asking $2,800, even though the Blue Book is $2,436 and the car has a salvage title!

People keep asking three to four thousand for a car evaluated between $1,900 and $2,500.

If people pay that much, does that mean that the car is actually worth that much? In this case, can everyone be wrong?

I just do not think that if I wait for someone to ask for Blue Book I will ever find a car and I am pretty sure that I offer Blue Book they will stop talking to me. I really want to hear someone argue why they are asking so much. "Kelley just does not take into account the great condition of this car!"

"Really? Their top tier is `Excellent' and their description is literally `flawless'."
