Not more than $1650.

 

That's a fair price for the car, according to KBB.

Maybe subtract the cost of a transmission.

Assuming the market value is $1650, tranny costs a grand, and deduction for the mileage is $300; this high mileage car is worth no more than $350. Seller wants $800.

The KBB says fair value (including the high mileage) is $1650.

 

Subtract $850 for a tranny and then $800 is not too bad a deal. Is it firm?

I always try to negotiate.

I'd low ball them or walk.

If the car has a busted trans, it is useless to them, or they would have fixed it. They want to get rid of it.

Get it cheap, or walk.
