![]() ![]() In my professional opinion the trade in values in most cases are inaccurate and to make matters worst we have heard from numerous clients once a representative shows up they begin to knock the vehicle and shoot even lower. They are giving their customers a honest valuation but yet are pushing their car buying service. I believe in court they call that conflict of interest lol More times then not we pay more then the trade in value because with KBB they are way below market price because their service now offers to purchase your car. When they see the trade in value nearly 60% less then the private party they are shocked. We then explain that we are a professional company and that we do not pay private party prices in most cases and they would have to check the trade in value. They tell us the “Private Party Value” and how they will settle for that price. It does not matter what the Kelley Blue Book Value Is if nobody is willing to pay that amount, as in the case of the Intrepid, then the car is not worth that price, but Kelley won’t tell you that.ĭay in and day out people call us to sell their cars and mention the Kelley Blue Book Value, Many people tend to overinflate their car's. ![]() Cars are similar, but people often don’t get appraisers for them. Looking to get a fair deal on a trade in for your Volkswagen or another make of vehicle Try our online KBB appraisal tool Moss Bros Volkswagen of Moreno. When determining the value of your used car, Kelley Blue Book will give you a price based on four condition levels: Fair, Good, Very Good and Excellent. So many in fact, that there are appraisers that calculate all these factors. There is no one book or website that tells you the value of your home, there are many factors involved when selling a home location, condition, size, functionality, local similar house sales, etc. Kelley Blue Book Values can’t give you this kind of information, and they don’t take these conditions into account. Needless to say I did not purchase the engine and scraped the car for it’s metal. A consumer off the street would pay much more than this. Mind you, this is a special dealer price. Or get a rough estimate of how much it would cost to buy a car from a private dealer. With this information, you will be able to also find out how much money you are likely to get if you were to trade-in your car at a dealership. I recently priced a used 2.7 engine for an Intrepid at a junk yard for $1,700 with 90,000 miles. KBB gives you the price valuation for a new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicle. Why, because this year Dodge Intrepid is notorious for having transmission problems or that it has a 2.7 Liter Engine, one of the most expensive and difficult engines to repair if something was to go wrong (and something usually does go wrong with the 2.7 Engine). I noticed on a local online classifieds site that someone was advertising a Dodge Intrepid SE with only 76,000 miles for a really good price, almost $500 under the Kelley Blue Book value, yet day after day, no one will buy this car. ![]()
