I'm looking to sell my 1999 Ram quadcab, Laramie SLT, 318 4X4, 102,000
miles, cap and running boards.

So I start looking at Kelly Blue book, NADA, and Edmunds to get a
ballpark on its value.

I start at NADA.com, value $12,400.

Then I go to kellybluebook.com, value (private party) $8,960.00.

I think Edmunds was (private party) $8,752

I paid $14,000 for this two years ago. I've only put 25k miles on it.

I was shocked at it's decline in value.

Why is NADA so far off? Or are the other two off?

????

Thanks
Steve

Check the prices in your local newspaper for similar vehicles (Dodge, Ford,
and GM). People in your local area will be shopping around so it doesn't
hurt to get an idea of what the competition has up for sale. If you live
where it snows consider waiting a month or two before selling it. When the
snow flakes fly 4X4 prices go up.

Just call it "Pre-Owned" instead of "Used" and it'll be worth more.
