I ran a kbb estimate on a car the guy is asking $4,500 private value is $2900-$3300. How can i tell him nicely that he is asking to much, and to reconsider his price? I mean we usually have paid at least 1k less that GOOD condition private party value when we have bought used cars.
 
You don't.

Did you miss the part where it says that KBB is ONLY a guide, and is not to be used as the sole determining factor in the value of a vehicle?

If he wants to ask $4500, it's his car. He can ask whatever he wants. Nothing in the book says he has to change his price.

I've bought and sold a lot of cars over the last two years as a private seller, probably around 20-25.

If anyone mentions a book value to me, while they're looking at my car, that's the end of the conversation, and I escort them off my property.
