    Price Difference Between Kelley and Edmunds Quotes

    I'm selling my 1997 ES300 to buy a new ES330 (please spare me the tranny
    warnings, been there, done that).

    The used car prices quoted by Edmunds are about $2,000 higher then
    Kelley's. The "private party sale" price for my 1997 ES300 is about
    $12,000 from Edmunds and about $14,000 from Kelley's. From what I've
    seen around, I think the Kelley's prices are more realistic and the
    Edmunds prices are inflated.

    Does anyone have an explanation for such a wide discrepancy?

    You contradict yourself...One sentence states KBB is higher and in the other
    your state Edmunds is higher. Which is it ? I have found Edmunds to be lower
    priced and more reflective of true values.

    With the current market of large rebates, etc. the used car values are low.

    I meant to say that Kelley's was $12,000 and Edmunds was $14,000.
    Edmunds is $2,000 higher.
     

    Not in this instance.
     

    I guess that's debatable, but not my observation (in this instance).
     
    low.

    Does that really impact a 7 year old car?

    Yes...If I can walk into a Chevy dealer ans say get $5000 in rebates, for a
    2004 model. That is not help anyone who is trying to sell a used model.

    I'll spare you the warnings. Just see if they'll let you take a loaner car
    overnight. You might have a different opinion once you've spent a little
    time with the new ES series. The newer 5 speed introduced a lot of
    performance characteristic changes that are different from your 1997
    version. Your choice, but just make sure you check it out thoroughly.

    I do know that most car dealerships only use Kelly for their trade in
    prices. No one uses edmunds., I just use it for a comparison and think they
    spend too much time taking ads from the paper for their database.
