How do you find the wholesale value of a car on kelly blue book?
What is the difference between the Trade-In Value I see on your site and the Blue Book Wholesale Value? The Trade-In Value on our site supposes that the vehicle is in fair, good or excellent condition and is taken in by the dealer AS IS. The values in our books, which are trade publications intended for use by the wholesale industry, factor in the Trade-In Value of the vehicle plus the cost associated with reconditioning the vehicle to the manufacturer’s specifications and performing all required safety checks to make it ready for sale. In other words, while Trade-In Values vary depending on the condition of the vehicle, Blue Book Wholesale Values assume the car is in excellent condition; meeting manufacturer and state requirements. The value contained in the trade publication is widely used by dealers as a starting point to estimate a vehicle’s value, depending on its condition. In other words, you won’t see wholesale value on the consumer site, only the site for the trade.
