Not Ranked
Kbb & nada
My wife and I were contemplating purchasing a dreaded.....this is tough to say........gimme a moment.....a MINIVAN...Phew! That was tough. Anyway, we were considering trading in her car. Before I engaged the dealer, I did some research just to make sure I wasn't going in blind. I went to KBB and NADA to get some ballpark ranges. The dealer was almost angry when I cited my research; said that no one uses those numbers, not even banks! He then informed me that the only legitimate source for trade in value are the current auction sales price for my car.
What are your opinions on his claim (I am accepting condolences on the minivan as well)?
