SEEKING TOW VEHICLE VALUE??

Now that we have sold our travel trailer, DW deemed it time to get rid of our 2006 F-250. I would like to sell it to a private party but determining a price for it has become an problem.. I have used the on line KBB and others, providing the data they requested but have never been given a value of the vehicle.. But what I do get is within hours an endless stream of phone calls from several local dealers offering me a trade in value on a new vehicle from them.. Any ideas where to get a good base price for used vehicles such as mine.. Thanks

  • I always priced it to sell. All that other info is just BS. You know what you will take so put that number on it, never let cash walk away as they never come back.
  • Dude, pump the brakes. Just get on CL and FB and look at what’s for sale. Price accordingly. No need to complicate it with whatever you’re doing ….or just look up the value on kbb and quit clicking links to marketing ****.

    I use KBB regularly to get updated values for my truck. Never put in e-mail address or phone number. I have always received my valuation.
  • I'm not familiar with the current crop of pricing guides, but in years past always found Edmunds to be one of the more realistic and accurate evaluators.
  • JDPower is the new NADA. just put in your zip, year, make, model and mileage and you get your values. Aside from that do a search on CarGurus, Cars.com, Craigslist etc, for your year make and model. You'll see what others are advertising theirs for.
