nada reports is what Edmund’s is based off of…
kbb is a private website with very little validity, and one of the biggest problems is people will bring in there private party value into a dealership and expect that for a trade because 99.9% of people think that a dealership is just going to put a price tag back on the trade of 3000 more then what they took it in for and try to turn a profit that way… the truth is 99.9% of the shit that is taken in on trade just takes up space in the back lot until an auctioneer purchases it from us for what we took it in at or sometimes even less, the fact is that most of the time a dealership will take the initial hit on the costumers trade to make up the lost money in back end financing…
you really don’t know what your talking about… I do this on a daily basis. :deadhorse:
edit: moral of story, unless your a die hard domestic fan and you will drive it till it shits the bed go purchase a product that will retain its value… because domestics just dont… sorry guys :tdown:
Correct. KBB doesn’t take into consideration the fact that every vehicle traded in needs reconditioning and sometimes UVE’s can cost dealerships thousands of dollars per car.
