Hey guys, I have a 2004 Toyota Avalon that I would like to trade in when I purchase a new car, hopefully a Cube. It's valued around 14-15k on KBB, but I have trouble finding a dealership around here that will offer anything near that price range. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!

Really, none of you can give me an offer? I've been offered $10,000 for my trade-in when KBB says it's worth $14-15,000. Please PM me if there's even the slightest chance of an offer. Thanks.

Dealerships have effectively killed KBB values these days, since they began using arbitrary "wholesale auction values". I would take the $10k and get into a Cube... you won't regret it

Also if you read the fine print in KBB your car pretty much has to be showroom perfect and KBB admits less than 5% fall into the "excellent" category.

Under good condition with standard options for an Avalon XLS model it lists for $10.975, $11,650 for excellent.

Looks like the dealership is on its mark.
