My BIL passed away nearly 10 years ago to the day, it took about a year to settle his estate which included the sale of his home and detached shop. We sold it for $150,000 which might have been a hair low but there weren't any comps nearby and his daughters were impatient to get their $$. About a month ago I saw a realtor sign in the yard and looked it up on their website where it was listed for $315,000. Looked at all the pics and almost everything was exactly the same as the day we sold it with the exception of some paint in a few rooms and one bathroom slightly redon. From what the people listing it told me they didn't have any serious inquires so they pulled it from the market.
The point is you can ask whatever you think something is valued at but the market has the final say of what the final transaction price is. Save that VIN and do a google search in a few months to see if it pops up at another dealer for a lower price. We took our FE to the auction at the height of the pricing stupidity and got $15K over MSRP. It bounced around to 3 or 4 dealers each time with a lower asking price. My assumption is that most or all of them broke even or lost some money before it was finally sold.
