Call a CarMAX. KBB values are pure fantasy and have nothing to do with the actual Manheim auction data auto dealers really use.
One good thing about it is I drove off the lot with it paid for so there is no 2-5 year loan involved
Like I said before: KBB has been spot-on in my area.
Not selling the Jeep or the winch at this point.How much for the winch if your selling it???
That's pretty cool; KBB trade-in value - 10% is usually the most accurate, with CarMAX values being #2.
I got a quote for my Jeep because I was curious. I have about 2,500 miles. only options are mud tires and color. They offered $39,442 and I paid $37500.
Manheim and KBB are owned by the same company. If you get a KBB Instant Cash Offer, that price is guaranteed.
It's not guaranteed, unless things have changed in recent years. The offer is there to get you into the dealership, but they are free to offer what ever they want from there. So it's reeler dealer dependent on the experience you will receive.
You are right, but I have used it several times and always got more than the KBB price. I take good care of my cars (I really enjoy detailing and do my own clay, buffing/polishing, and pro ceramic coatings) and most dealers know they can put it on the lot the same day with little to no work on their end.
The KBB trade-in price/range isn't guaranteed. An Instant Cash Offer is an offer to buy your vehicle but it is dependent on the dealer agreeing with how you answered the questionnaire. So you are right in the sense that your experience can be dealer dependent. If a dealer is being unfair, you can try a different participating dealer and complain to KBB. If a dealer doesn't want the vehicle at that price, they can sell it to KBB for the amount they paid. So a good dealer wouldn't bother unfairly beating you up on how the questionnaire was answered, but look at you as an opportunity to sell you one of their vehicles now or in the future.
Remember the site can say anything, but actually getting someone to pay it is another matter.While I have no interest in selling my Jeep, I finally took a few minutes and checked out KBB. Wow, there is something going on there. I have a MOAB which according to a few sources including KBB is the highest priced model. (See attached KBB photo). But I didn’t expect the private party value to be so high. I know Jeep Wranglers hold their value better than most vehicles but this was an eye opener if it’s even close. According to KBB my 2019 MOAB with 8k miles is hovering around 56k. That is insane. The last time I had a vehicle gain value, it was a Ferrari I owned, which doubled in value in 5 years of ownership. While the Jeep is no Ferrari, it isn’t doing bad for what is considered a depreciating asset.
