After I had the engine replaced on my Chrysler I went and traded it in the day i got it back. Dealer tried to tell me it was worth 10k....I pulled up KBB, I have black book on my iphone, and the credit union I work at uses NADA. Come to find out, they low balled it because they didn't add AWD and a few other options and after showing them the 3 values I pulled up I ended up getting 13k for it without even trying to negotiate, I just showed them some simple numbers. I was going to try to milk them for another 1k cuz I told them I knew they were going to resell it for $17k plus but given the fact nobody there said anything about the replaced engine (which I paid $100.00 for; extended warranty) I decided not to push it. They were using NADA but if you put in the wrong options of course you're going to get the wrong value. Before you trade its always good to check as many sources as possible so you can figure out where the ridiculous offer they gave you came from.
