Default NADA values... what the crap?

http://www.nadaguides.com/usedcars.a...487&da=-1&nx=1

According to NADA, average retail for my car is $25,750 and high retail is $28350!!

I wish..... I haven't had a taker for my car for $16,975. Anyone understand NADA??

Why are you using NADA? ...Just about everyone only use's Kelly Blue Book. I don't know why NADA gave you that number. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in one of the fields when you where listing/pricing it.

Most banks/credit unions use NADA as a guide for loan values. 9 times out of 10 Kelly Blue Book retail values are even higher than NADA! Check out KBB's private party value, that should give you a better idea what you can expect to get for your car. This might not be the best time of year to sell a car with the holidays right around the corner.

Unless it's got about 3 miles on it, or has about $30k worth of mods, $28k is insane.

My '00 WS6 stickered for $31.5k back in '00. I paid $29k and change.

What did you enter to get that value?
I just tried a few combinations and can't get anything that high.

Ok..... I see what I did wrong.

I clicked on "Firebird Trans Am* "

What I didn't realize was that the "*" meant anniversary edition.
