I explained that red book obviously works in both directions and it's not a tool for the dealers benefit solely.

Love it. I just don't have the confidence to do this and took a pretty large hit on my 135 when I traded it, but consoled myself that I was saving myself the angst of people wanting test drives, security concerns etc. That said, please don't burst my bubble
