And your complaining?!?!
The numbers they give are a starting point. There is usually a significant difference in price from the excellent condition and the lesser conditions. I'm sure you think yours is in excellent condition. I will garrantee, someone trying to negotiate the price can find things wrong with it. You also have to consider private party prices vs retail. There may be a $10k spread from the excellent condition retail price and the trade in value. Unless your a dealer, you won't get retail, you'll get private party. In other words you have be honest with yourself to find a realistic price. No emotion involved.
I have sold two vehicles in three years using the numbers from
www.kbb.com. Not only did I get a good starting point to attrach the buyers, I also had the papers with me when I showed the cars. The first person to look at both vehicles bought them. I'd say the numbers are pretty good.
