If you’re a dealership or individual selling your used car, estimating the price of your vehicle using Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is a must. Using the KBB valuation as a baseline, you will be assured that you are neither overestimating nor underestimating your price point. Thus, you can accurately assess the estimated pricing for your used car to get a quick sale and to ensure you get the most money possible on the transaction. When selling a used car, you will have to estimate the condition of the vehicle as excellent, good, or fair. Excellent is typically reserved for used cars 3 years old or less and means the car is in like-new condition. Most used cars fall under the good category, which means it may have some minor problems such as a scratch, slight wear on the fabric seats, or minor rusting. Fair means the car has more serious problems such as dents, rust, mechanical problems, excessive tire wear, and accident damage.Kelley Blue Book has been the trusted source of information on used car pricing for over eight decades. Since a young, enterprising Les Kelley published his first Blue Book of Motor Car Values, millions of consumers and auto industry insiders have relied on his accurate valuations of used motor vehicles.Here’s how to assess the value of your used car using the KBB: 1) Point your Web browser to www.kbb.com.
