Trade-In Appraiser

If you have a used vehicle to trade-in or sell before you purchase or lease your new vehicle, this will help you evaluate its value to a dealer or to a private party sale. No matter what resource you use, print out the valuation provided to you and take it with you to the dealership.

Kelley Blue Book (KBB)

KBB is a trusted source to calculate what you can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in vehicle assuming an accurate appraisal of condition. Valuations will vary based upon market conditions, specifications, and vehicle condition. 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.

KBB’s Private Party Value

Private Party Value is what 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 the continuing 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.
