Are there any additional references used to assess the value of a used car other than Kelly Blue Book? I am selling a car and want to make sure I am asking the right price.|||There is tha NADA.... (stands for the National Automobile Dealers Associoation) blue book... its comparable...
but no matter which you use you need to know everything about how to use them accurately....
retail means on a dealers lot usually all the major defects have been corrected if known...
and also that the car has been detailed and cleaned thouroughly this is why retail is a lot more than private party value..
remember to deduct off the price reference for known defects in both parts cost %26amp; labor to correct the problem from the blue book quote for each thing you know is wrong with it that you're not going to spend money to correct...
this is what is known as an adjusted value...
if you do not know the vehicles defects take it to an ASE Certified mechanic for inspection and report... for what needs done or fixed etc.
Walt|||first of all don't try to take all that you put into it as a selling tool,you'll never get what you put into it.(stereo ,paint,custom wheels,tires,ect...)those are just added bonus to the buyer,what i would do is take it to a reputable mechanic don't tell him you are selling it ,ask him if he would look over the car what he thinks value of it (tell him you got it in a will) then go from there.or just look at other cars that are same as yours in auto trader/paper and do it that way too. (see whats out there)|||there are others out there like edmunds.com, nada.com, BUT consumers use www.kbb.com the most so that's what they'll be going on.
