KBB is a pretty good price if you consider a car that was owned by somebody who didn't do anything but change the oil. I only paid $2000 for mine, but within a year I've rebuilt brakes, CV axles, needs struts and tires, and a whole new motor.
but I know if I had gone and bought the one the dealer had for $4500 it would of had a nicer paint job but it still would have needed plenty of work.

also when buying stuff from used dealers take a good look at the frame or the bumpers, to see if its been wrecked before. look at where the fender meets the door, is the color the same? do the pinstripes match?
lots of used car guys will buy something at an auction that's been smashed into a ball and then take it to a cheap body shop and fix it up. and still try to sell it for top dollar.
