Trade In Frequently Asked Questions. What is Black Book? Black Book, a leading provider of marketplace insight since , is best known in the automotive industry for providing timely, independent, and accurate vehicle pricing information.
What Is the Trade-In Value? The trade-in value is more closely aligned with the auction wholesale value, meaning what the car would sell for at an auction to interested retailers. However, the dealer may offer more if the vehicle is a desirable inventory item. In this case, a dealer may make allowances in consideration of auction and transportation fees that would have been paid if the car were bought at an auction.
What Is the Private Party Value? Private Party Value is the price you could expect for a vehicle sales transaction between two consumers. Depending on demand and condition, this transaction price will be between the wholesale value and the retail value. Private party transactions are typically less than dealer sales because they do not provide the buyer any financing options, warranty, nor any recourse should there be any problems with the vehicle.
All sales are considered final and as-is. Black Book acquires its pricing data from wholesale auctions and retail transactions nationwide.
