I left before your response - but I had another appointment in the area, so it looks like I eneded up following your advice anyway.
Dude, it was exactly like you said. Over the phone "Oh ... $6,000 maybe $7,000 ..."
In person ... "can't do better than $4,000 ..."
Then comes the "Jonestown" speech - "What about the Kelley Blue Book Value and the NADA value? You are as much as $2,500 off of those values !!!"
"oh no ... those books don't know the REAL VALUE ... only WE know the REAL VALUE ... only WE know THE WAY ... now go ahead and drink some of this special Kool-Aid. But sign on the dotted line before you pass out, though ..."
When I get some time, I will search for some car buying blogs and put the word out on these guys.
The people who "hit their bid" are people with serious cash issues, and they know it. So they wait and sift through the people who are in a position to say "no thanks" and wait for the desperate seller. And of all people, THAT DESPERATE PERSON could really use an honest and fair price.

Pisses me off, man.
Thanks for the heads up.
