Just looking for a cheap daily and found a 2014 Chevy Cruze LS with 85,240 miles for $7,799. The CARFAX is clean, but KBB says a fair deal would cap out around $6,565. How far down could I reasonably negotiate without looking like an asshat? Or are these just today’s ridiculous dealership markups?

Keeping mind whatever you’re willing to pay (your target). Opening offer you should go below that. If they accept, great! If they counteroffer, you can “meet in the middle” and have a decent chance of hitting your target. If they say no or just ignore you, then you can make a second offer of your target. Lots of cars for sale out there, so don’t worry how you appear to the seller.
If someone gets angry at your offer, that’s a them problem. Ignore it and move on.
