My dad somehow managed to get $2800 for his POS 93 Camry with close to 300k that was pissing oil left right center. Initial offer was $2500, but he wanted $3000 and showed them a bunch of CL ads. Being the only owner helps I guess. Apart from the leaks, everything else was good.

On the other hand, I made the mistake of signing my mint SR20 S13 with a ton of brand new quality parts over to ICBC before we even negotiated the price. Their initial offer was something ridiculous like $2800, which was including their reimbursement of my $2500 wheels that I had a receipt for which were stolen. Showed them a bunch of CL ads of aesthetically displeasing cars with similar, cheaper mods that were all in the $7-8000 range. Their final offer was $4700 IIRC. I was lucky to even get that considering I had mistakenly signed my life away.
