i believe 7800 is for retail. u are getting it from a private owner correct? if u are, try adding the retail and trade in value then divide by two, that is the mid blue book which is how much a private owner should charge. mid blue book should be around 6800. i got my black 04 1krr with 5k miles a couple of months ago for 7200 including some extras. good luck.
