![]() They tell us the “Private Party Value” and how they will settle for that price. It does not matter what the Kelley Blue Book Value Is if nobody is willing to pay that amount, as in the case of the Intrepid, then the car is not worth that price, but Kelley won’t tell you that.ĭay in and day out people call us to sell their cars and mention the Kelley Blue Book Value, Cars are similar, but people often don’t get appraisers for them. So many in fact, that there are appraisers that calculate all these factors. ![]() There is no one book or website that tells you the value of your home, there are many factors involved when selling a home location, condition, size, functionality, local similar house sales, etc. Kelley Blue Book Values can’t give you this kind of information, and they don’t take these conditions into account. Needless to say I did not purchase the engine and scraped the car for it’s metal. ![]() A consumer off the street would pay much more than this. Mind you, this is a special dealer price. I recently priced a used 2.7 engine for an Intrepid at a junk yard for $1,700 with 90,000 miles. Why, because this year Dodge Intrepid is notorious for having transmission problems or that it has a 2.7 Liter Engine, one of the most expensive and difficult engines to repair if something was to go wrong (and something usually does go wrong with the 2.7 Engine). I noticed on a local online classifieds site that someone was advertising a Dodge Intrepid SE with only 76,000 miles for a really good price, almost $500 under the Kelley Blue Book value, yet day after day, no one will buy this car.
