Question

How can i find out the true value of a car?

Answer 1

go to "blue book" online, give correct information, and they will give you an estimate for fair, good, and excellent conditions. good luck , and good sell.

Answer 2

Really a vehicle is only worth what someone else will pay for it.  Your kelley blue book or nada book will tell you what the loan value is.   It all depends on the condition of the car and it's desirability in the market place.   Take for instance a chevy suburban.  Kelley blue book may state that the retail value for this vehicle is 25k, but with rising gas prices that vehicle is less valuable in relation to kbb. On the other hand you take a honda civic that gets good gas mileage, it is more desirable in today's market and would be worth more in relation to kbb.  Just because kbb states its worth a certain amount doesn't necessarily mean thats what it's worth.

Answer 3

KBB doesn't buy cars, their prices usually are not accurate, to find out the true wholesale value of a car, bring it to a dealer and have it appraised.  For retail, see what others have sold for.

Answer 4

There's several factors in Pricing a car. Apart from immediately apparent issues like anything broken or dings/dents, you have to consider depreciation. Some cars retain their sell-able value. Others loose value over time. Also the value of the brand makes a lot of difference.

Along with KBB, you may want to see Edmund's TMV price  that takes all such factors into consideration.
