Why are used car prices more than kelly blue book recommends?

When lookimg for used cars, especially cheaper ones, people nowadays are being very adoment about the value they are placing on their vehicles worth, even when kelly blue book says otherwise. This seems to be a form of price gouging and should not be tollerated in my opinion, especially in a down economy.Why are used car prices more than kelly blue book recommends?
hahahhaha



First off, we have a saying in this business - Mr. Kelly does not own the dealership.



KBB values are almost never accurate any more.



The seller can ask whatever he wants for a car. Supply and demand. Free market economy.



If we were in Communist Russia, we would all have the same Skoda and that would be fine., But thats not how it works.



Price gouging? Not tolerated? What are you saying, that we should regulate what someone sells their car for? ridiculous



If you dont agree to a price, you dont buy a car. Thats the way it worksWhy are used car prices more than kelly blue book recommends?

To each his own, I guess.



Maybe car buying isn't for you. In this down economy, I make $22/hour and my overtime starts after 28 hours each week. Yeah, 56 hours of OT every week on this project.



Anyway, that's a lotta' v6 and v8 Mustang GT convertibles I can hunt for. That's a whole ton I can turn down if I don't like the price, too.



See how that works?

First off KBB is a strictly consumer based pricing system. Dealers, banks, finance companies, credit unions, etc. Use only NADA pricing.

KBB is so far off the actual real value it's ludicrous!



First reply was correct - if you don't agree on the price move on!
