I know it says motorcycles but just ignore that for now.
- Click on your choice of trade-in or retail value.
- Click on the year model of the ATV.
- Click on the make you want.
- Find the model and click on it.
- You'll see the value of the ATV you chose in the first step. Trade-in or Retail. There are also 2 links shown in the text below the values. Mileage/condition and additional equipment.
- Click on the Additional Equipment link. Under the Off Road and ATV heading are values of most popular options for ATVs.
The ATV Blue Book value shown under retail price represents the average
dealer retail asking price for a 4 wheeler in excellent condition in your region of the country. My experience has been that Kelly Blue Book retail prices favor the dealer. That's why they like to quote Blue Book prices! Actual selling prices are usually quite a bit lower.
On the flip side are Blue Book trade-in values. If you want to know this price, go back to the Motorcycle page and click on the Trade-In Value link. Follow the same procedure and you end up at a page showing the trade-in value of your selected ATV. You'll notice these values assume "good", not excellent, condition.
The values shown for trade-ins are usually lower than what those models would really sell for in the open market. It really just helps the dealer widen the gap between what he offers for a trade-in and the retail price he would ask. There isn't really anything wrong with this ... it's just business. You just need to know how the game is played.
