I think like you do ..... I have stated before, that when someone posts that they only paid $xxxxxx cheap dollars, (their way of sort of "bragging"), all that does is establish some mind sets amongst our members AND dealers who no doubt lurk here checking things out. When people see that stuff, "then that becomes a MENTAL MARKET".
Everyone probably likes to negogiate a fair price when purchasing a vehicle, but if you are able to "rape" an owner of his car, please consider these negotiations to stay private. I don't see the value of announcing it, other than a form of "look at me bragging".
At some point if I were to consider selling my SRT roadster, that's also low mileage and "pristine", I would only give prices through private messages.
There are many ways to check on a cars worth other than discussing it on "open forum", where there is the "mind set" influence on value.
Many economists (a lot smarter then we are) are beginning to make positive predictions about our economy, and hopefully employment will begin to improve. I want to hope that when things get better, there will be a pent up desire for many people to get back into buying "toys". In a perfect world, when supply and demand controls a specific market, I'd hope we can be more assertive about our cars values! Just my $.02
