Is it possible to get close to the kelly blue book price value when you sell your used car?

that price takes into account the depreciation due to mileage and age and whatnot so why not?Is it possible to get close to the kelly blue book price value when you sell your used car?
Absolutely, I've used it as a guide when working a deal. It lets me know the ballpark figure.
That's the point of the Blue Book - tells you what you should get.Is it possible to get close to the kelly blue book price value when you sell your used car?
I don't see why not. I actually totalled my car and my insurance company gave me the full blue book value for it. It was a little more then what I paid for it in the first place. That was nice.
You also have to take into account any damage or problems, and the market where you are. Here the market is good for used cars and trucks, some places people prefer a specific vehicle. When you list it start a little high and put negotiable. This gives you a bargaining edge to make a buyer feel they are getting a better deal than you would give someone else. It also depends on who you are selling, a car lot wants to profit from the resale, so they are going to give you a lot less then an individual.Is it possible to get close to the kelly blue book price value when you sell your used car?
Usually. There are two values: wholesale and retail. Try to get as close to the retail value as possible. The kelly blue book on the internet should take account for everything.



Also look up the NADA value, as sometimes it may differ slightly than the kelly value.
It's doubtful if you're selling back to a dealership. The car dealership (as much as we hate them) need to turn a profit on your car. They're never going to be able to sell a used car for much more than the blue book price, so in turn, they need to buy your car for less than the blue book price. However, if you're a smooth enough negotiator, or have a crazy plan up your sleeve, I suppose you'll be able to do it.



For selling just another average Joe though ... I suppose you could
Yes, thats why there is a blue book.





go to the website.
I have. But don't expect to get it if your selling it on E-Bay.
it depends but if you are selling it to another person you may get close. If you are trading in you probably wont get very close to it. When we were getting a new car they wouldnt give us even close to kelly blue book. They said carmax would probably give us more but we just ened up going to another dealer got the same car and got more on the trade in so it all depends.
well sure only if u can get some one to pay a price that sounds good not too high and dont be ripped off bye ppl that want ur car for way lower than u want it for!
