Are you sure you used the same version of KBB they do? You know it doesn't make alot of sense for a dealer to pay consumer BB when a consumer wants it at BB or lower.

I was unaware they had different versions, but when I got home again and tried it it said 11,175.

You know that 1 day worth of wear and tear can really de-value a vehicle. That really doesn't make sense though. Have you tried changing the values you enter to get a duplicate price.

Retail sale is higher, trade in value is lower.

Kelly gives you a choice between PRIVATE SALE value and TRADE IN VALUE.
Which one did you do? |

Also, the books are done periodicaly. You just may have done your work on the day they change values. Next day, lower price.

Been through that. There are two possibilities. Assuming you input everything the same, and used the same category - "Trade in Value."
1. The value may have dropped. When updated, it just happened during the intervening time. Hass to drop sometime, your tough luck, though I can't see $2000. all at once. 2. This is more likely. Got to watch those dealers. One trick they pull is to knock down your >>condition<<!! Note at the end of your input you have to rate condition. There are about five categories (didn't have time to do this this morning): excellent (no dealer will give this, even if the car is excellent); GOOD, which is aboput the best you can hope for; FAIR, which they generally try to use, and one or two lower than that. If you have rated your car GOOD, and have that value, the dealer can input all the same stuff, just checking a very small, easy to miss bullet point FAIR, and present you with a very official looking page with the screw-you value. Simple trick. Like I said, been through it. |

Changing of zip codes drops / raises prices too.

forget the dealer- they will take you to the bank EVERY time.. sell it outright if you can. Also I would suggest getting a car with 1-2 years ona it and still warranty. you will save a lot of money. - me knows this from buying 2 new cars in the last year....

The Kelly Blue Book gives many differant values from Dealer trade in to private sale.
Make sure you got the right one. Either way, what ever deal the salesman gives you on the trade he will try to make up on the other end. SO get a set price on the value of the car first and then go from there. Everything is negotiable. SGatr15 |

Also the condition will make a huge difference. If you put excellent he put in poor, there will also be a huge difference. I would try to sell your car on your own.

Try moving from a high value area (SF Bay Area) to a relatively low value area (Tucson AZ) and watch about 50% of your value evaporate.
It sucks, and it is why I am keeping my XR600R around. Sigh. Geoff |

What does NADA say that it's worth? I had to get rid of my truck, and looked up Kelly Blue Book,
and it said that my truck was worth $1300. When I went to the webpage of the group that I donated it to (Order of the Purple Heart) they used NADA to get the value for tax purposes, and it came out to be worth up to $2400. |

Most dealer around here use NADA - to SELL as it is higher. They use the "black theft book" (Market Research) to buy as it is MUCH lower.

If you have to trade it in, shop different dealers. When I bought my last truck, I saved an additional $1000 and got another $3000 for my trade in compared to a dealer I was trying to buy from.
