rip off!

I just found out my baby is only worth $1,965 via Kelly Blue Book.

Surely it's worth more than that...

with the higher gas prices and the forcast for even much higher the people that would normally buy these vehicles can hardly afford the food costs to survive....only a person that has interest in this type of vehicle, and has some money would buy a vehicle such as this ....

these vehicles usually would go to a young person as the first car,,,,granpa's car....

Re: rip off!

Mine is too old to have a value after 20 years so i dont even know what mine would go for, though i have seen cars my same year in mint condition as well go for at least 7k on ebay, an SS impala lowest ive seen for sale is about 8 or 9k but of course those arent the kbb values

I went on KBB and did a trade in value thing for my car "even though the year only goes to 88" and i figure about $700. If i was to sell it i would have to say $1000 at least just because its clean, has low miles, and is all original.

Re: rip off!

What you get is what the market will bear. I've seen early 80s Caprice's get sold for amounts north of $5,000, KBB be damned.

Re: rip off!

I've seen it go to both extremes. With Caprice's for instance... Value = around $1,000 for one in good shape depending upon the year, but some sell for $3,500+. When I was recently shopping for a new truck, I found a nice 2003 Chevy Z-10 ZR2 in great shape. Asking price at the dealer was $9,995 which was actually kind of high compared to other dealers around. KBB says: $13,995. I don't think blue book value had much accuracy. Like silicon said, it what the market has to offer.
