I've been looking for 1999-03 1-ton pickups for the past several months and hope to make a purchase soon.
As I understand it, Kelley Blue Book reflects dealer asking price. Edmunds reflects retail selling price that the buyer pays. And eBay somewhat reflects dealer wholesale price for a used vehicle bought at auction or from another dealer.
The asking prices I've seen in dealer ads or on the windshield of trucks on the lots seem to me to be significantly higher than what you find at the KBB website (15-20%). I assume this is the price dealers are hoping to get from buyers who haven't done their homework on the KBB and Edmunds websites.
Question: how do you guys figure out what one of these trucks is worth?
