What should you offer above the trade-in value a dealer paid for a used car?
Each used car, truck, and SUV is unique. This individuality is what makes used car value appraisal an inexact science. Tools such as Kelly Blue Book, N.A.D.A., and Black Book serve as guides to car dealers to help them appraise the used car. Ultimately, the vehicle’s physical and mechanical condition, local market conditions, potential reconditioning costs, auction results, the dealership’s own assessment, and wholesale guides provide the most accurate and realistic assessment of a used car’s value. Try to find alternative trade-in value.
