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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

You are doing something wrong if you are aren't getting a value right then and there.
Every time I plug in my vehicle details, I get a value on the web page I am on. I can switch back and forth between retail, trade, private party sale and see all three values.
Don't enter your phone number, and don't select the option to be contacted by dealers, and you won't get those annoying calls.

Agree with those who say you're doing something wrong.
I've used KBB a zillion times, and have always gotten values immediately and have never left my contact info and never been contacted unless I wanted it.

On the screen where it's calculating your value, you need to click "Not now, maybe later" instead of putting in your email address. Or just wait. It will bring up the values.

^^^^ This, in spades. Just cruise through FB or CL plugging in search terms to reflect your vehicle. See what comes up. Price within that range or a little above / below depending if you want big $$$ or a quick sale.
