Re: Kelly Blue Book

They are purely mathematical forecasts and do not reflect actual market value especially for such a car as the Viper. They are tools for dealers to fuck you over on your trade-in.

Re: Kelly Blue Book

kbb is absolutely useless, it has no use as far as valuating a vehicle. I've been in the car bus for 15 years and the only thing we use it for is to explain what a car isn't worth.

Re: Kelly Blue Book

You know, it's actually pretty accurate on most cars. On rare cars like Vipers, they don't have a lot of data, but how far off is $46,615? Really! One with super low miles will probably bring $50ish. What does one with comparitively high miles bring? I paid $52k for mine last March and it only had 5k miles. Same car, a lot less miles, over a year ago.

Re: Kelly Blue Book

KB is vague and regional, we use CCC, KB tends to be higher on the values than the ones we come back with to our insureds.
