My car previous to my current one, I went to Car Pros Kia in Tacoma...looked up the AVERAGE sale price on kbb.com and said "This is what I will pay". I wasn't lowballing, I just wanted to pay the average price that others are paying in my region. The sales guy TOOK MY PHONE back to show the manager...then came back and said they could do that.

You will see just how well the interior cabin held up during an accident. Source: about 2 years ago
