its not really trouble for me all teh time, just sometimes when a buyer thinks KBB is the final word.
I sell about 12-20 cars/year. I know what they are worth, what their resell value is and what the demand is which ultimately dictates price. I get calls asking why are you asking so much when KBB says its $1K less. I tell them KBB is crap and NADA has it at $2K more than what Im asking.
When will people realize that suggested prices don't mean dick, ever, for any item. A seller will sell when both buyer and seller agree to a price. Even if KBB says its $3K, if I want $3500 your not getting my car for $3K.
Sometimes NADA does screw me. When I register a car that I bought for $4K because I know people but books at $6K, unless the seller is a registered dealer, I have to pay taxes on $6K. Kind of sucks but whatever, the man needs his tax $$. |
