What’s My Kelley Blue Book Car Value?

You’re so close to making a deal! You absolutely love the Toyota you’ve been checking out – of course, why wouldn’t you? The price is right and it has all the features you want. More importantly, you’ve had the best customer service interaction with your product advisor at Jay Wolfe Toyota. But you have a car to trade in and you have no way to know if you’re getting a fair trade-in price. Tell me, have you looked into your Kelley Blue Book car value?

If your answer is ‘no’ or ‘Kelley what?’, you don’t have to worry. It’s one of the best tools on the market available to car owners and used car appraisers. And it’s one of the ways you can tell if you’re getting a fair offer for your trade.

What is My Kelley Blue Book Car Value?

Your Kelley Blue Book car value is specific to your car. To find out what your car is worth requires that you input its details on the KBB.com website. It’s extremely easy to do, and the result is as accurate as you can get…provided you give honest information.

Navigate to KBB.com

Start by going online to KBB.com. It’s a lovely blue website that’s easy to navigate.

On the home page, you’ll find a tab or button called “What’s My Car Worth?” That’s where you need to click.

Enter Your Vehicle Information

Next, fill in all the radio boxes with the requested information. If there’s a plus sign to the right, you can expand that section to give more detail in that category. Here’s where you enter your make, model, year, and mileage.

Give Model Details

Click ‘Next’ and you’ll get the details page. Select all your car’s options. Typically, factory options are what you’ll want to enter but if there are quality aftermarket components, you can account for them as well. When you’re satisfied with your option selections, scroll down on the page.

Select Your Car’s Condition

This is a very important step for an accurate Kelley Blue Book car value. Choose the condition that most closely represents your car. Choose from four options between Fair and Excellent.

It’s critical to assess the condition accurately because the value depends on it. If you choose Very Good but you know your car has some dings, an engine light on, or mechanical issues, you’re going to be disappointed when you’re actually trading in your car.

View the Value Range for Your Car

When you click ‘Next’, you’ll see the ‘Trade-In Range’ for your car. There’s a high value and a low value, and the average is in the middle. Your actual trade value is usually somewhere between the high and low ranges.

At Jay Wolfe Toyota, the Kelley Blue Book car value is a guide, but our sales team will accurately appraise your car on its own merits. Wondering what your trade is worth? Visit us to receive a no-commitment appraisal on your car, no matter the make and model.
