Selling car, private party. Which value to use? KBB or Edmunds?


Recommended Posts

Huge discrepancy here, ~$3500 of discrepancy. For a private party sale, which can I expect people to use, or which should I stick to for my selling price?

When we bought the 06 OB from Lithia, they stuck by edmunds as their reference for our trade-in, obviously because it favors the buyer, and KBB seems to favor the seller.

 

(car for sale is 97 Outback)

Thanks in advance.

KBB favors the seller because they started as a ref. for sellers exclusively, while edmunds is more consumer-oriented. What it comes down to is: the book value is just a starting point for price. I have only bought one car over the edmunds price, and I dont regret it, because it was in brand new shape despite being 120k miles and 10 years old.

 

Just depends on what condition the car is in.
