I bought my truck in '22 and paid blue book value to the dealer. Pretty good all things considered in my opinion. Now, I'm thinking about trading it in and the best I can get on an offer is black book. Am I missing something? Even my private seller posting received a black book offer. Black book currently comes in at 5k and KBB is at 11k. Something seems a little fishy!

Yes, what you’re missing is that the difference between black book and KBB covers the dealer’s reconditioning costs and margin.

I guess so. At the moment, black book average is 5 and KBB is 11, CarMax, online ad, several dealers all said 5. I must have just missed black book originally. KBB lowest trade is 7500...

Are you pricing it using KBB private party value? The car market is still pretty strong; where do you have it listed. Facebook marketplace and Craigslist have always been good for me.
