In an ideal used-car-buying world, we'd have all the repair records of the vehicle we're looking at, the total honesty of the seller and the gift of clairvoyance so that we could see repairs needed before they're obvious. I'd use KBB only as a rough guide especially in the low-cost vehicle range you're talking about. Instead, I'd focus on the condition of the vehicle. The difference between the asking price and the KBB price may only be the cost of an exhaust repair or a front end problem. I've bought several vehicles that were on the high end of what I thought was a fair price but seemed to be in particularly good shape for their age and never regretted the purchases. Look for a car that seems to be in fantastic shape and worry less about the couple hundred dollars that separates the KBB value from the asking price. You'll be glad you did, I think.
