<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Online Pricing Guides
Online pricing guides are one of the easiest and quickest ways to determine the value of your automobile. The guides are tailored to the location of the vehicle, yielding more accurate results. All states, including Illinois, are covered.
On the Other: Dealer Pricing
All dealerships have appraisers to determine the value of your car. The appraisal from the dealer will be much more detailed and provide an expert's view of the automobile. Be sure to bring a printed report of the appraisal provided by the online guides as you will be able to compare the guides' price to the dealership offer. Another important note is that every dealer will almost certainly give you a different price evaluation.
Bottom Line
Your car's value is determined through a number of factors. Vehicle make and model, year of production, condition, added accessories, maintenance records and location determine what your car is worth. Visiting the pricing guides is free and easy, as it provides your vehicle's market worth to dealers and potential buyers. Dealers will always appraise the vehicle, especially if you are trading it in.
