For some reason many people have the misconception that Americans are no longer infatuated with buying trucks and SUVs. Though there is a growing trend of buying hybrid vehicles and smaller sedans and coupes, people are absolutely still buying SUVs. In fact, it is a great time to buy an SUV due to this misconception. The average price that SUVs are selling for has gone down, but not so much as people are making it out to be. And if you’re selling one it’s not as hard as you think to get the selling price you’re asking for. All it takes is the right kind of exposure and advertising. Also, don’t forget that SUVs are just plain practical in some instances. They’re great for families because of the amount of room and carrying capacity they offer.

The easiest and simplest way to find out what your vehicle is worth is to go to www.kellybluebook.com or www.nada.com. This will give you an approximate trade in and private party value. When using these sites you have to use some of your own judgment when it comes to determining the condition of your vehicle. Obviously if your vehicle is in excellent condition it will be worth more than the average used car. You may also want to check what price similar vehicles in your area are selling for, and price your vehicle competitively. If people are looking for used sedans in your area and see that yours is priced quite fairly compared to most others in your area they will obviously have more interest in your car. However, you don’t want to undersell your self though. Basically it comes down to you finding a middle point between what the blue book or nada price is and what the market is like in your area.
