Always check on kbb.com [Kelly's Blue Book] before buying a car. No need to do VIN check, just put the year, make model, condition and it will give you the fair market value.



BLUE BOOK® PRIVATE PARTY VALUE










Close

Private Party Value


Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value is the
amount a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private
party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and
carries no warranty (other than any remaining factory warranty). The
final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition
and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair
Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.

BLUE BOOK® SUGGESTED RETAIL VALUE










Close

Suggested Retail Value


Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is
representative of dealers' asking prices for a used car, and the
starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. This
Suggested Retail Value assumes that the vehicle has been fully
reconditioned and has a clean title history, but has not been certified
in accordance with any Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program the automaker
may offer (for which it may or may not qualify, according to factors
such as vehicle age and mileage). This value also takes into account the
dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other
costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less
depending on the vehicle's actual condition, popularity, type of
warranty offered and local market conditions.

BLUE BOOK® TRADE-IN VALUE










Close

Trade-In Value


Kelley Blue Book Trade-In Value is the amount
consumers can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in vehicle,
assuming an accurate appraisal of the vehicle's condition, mileage and
features. This value will likely be less than the Private Party Value
because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections,
reconditioning and other costs of doing business.
