I’m currently shopping for a car in california and as part of my research, I’m using [kbb.com](http://kbb.com)’s trade-in value as the starting point for making an offer. Given that the dealership is offering a price at least $2000 more than what the trade-in value is listed as, am I still getting a fair deal?
