Is this website (kbb.com) accurate? Because it seems like almost all the cars I look up are more cheaper than what the owners are trying to sell.

 

semi accurate that is about all somethings it is something it is not

 

It's pretty accurate. The reason that the Blue Book value is lower than what private owners are asking for their cars is just that they know people look at Kelly Blue Book (it's nationally standard) and they want to give themselves some room to haggle. As a seller, they're trying to get a good deal, too.

 

Usually you can go lower than blue book value, just talk to the person and tell them all the things that are wrong with the car.
I have always sold my cars below the blue book value.

 

Just really depends on the car. Some cars hold their value better than others. I think I've only seen a few civics sell for their blue book value around here in recent years, when I was looking anyway. They usually sell above.

 

KBB is hear say prices. Not accurate at all IMO. It does not think about supply, demand, and all the other issues that drive car prices. A little hint, a court of law will not recongnize the price of a car by KBB.

 

i agree with marty on this kbb has never been accurate for me

 

Usually if you split the difference between prices you get from KBB and the N.A.D.A. book you can ususally come up with what people will want to pay for a vehicle.

P.S. I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!
