Default KBB Value Does Not Apply

This is why selling the truck to someone who does not understand it's value is a losing proposition. KBB doesn't understand it any better. All the work and custom parts are not taken into consideration.

Not only that, once a vehicle is more than 20 years old it doesn't exist or something. I've got more than 8 in it, but I do believe that's where I'd start with my asking price. I'm also aware that kinda green usually only fetches a cherry, just hoping the mods amount to something while realistically accepting that they aren't worth what I paid for them. Rough KBB value plus tires and wheels puts the truck close to 8 anyways , everything else is just icing. Hmmmm 8 grand... Oh how much debt I could pay off with that hah, I'm 22 and hate being in debt. Kinda gettin the mind set that the only thing worth going in the hole for is a house and even then that's sketchy.

And a good mind set that is.

Before the real estate bubble burst, I might not have agreed with the sketchy part. The few years prior to that though, amounted to buying at the wrong time and a lot of people got screwed. Last I heard real estate prices might still be on a downward trend for at least another couple years. Buying a home these days, now that most of that is hopefully behind us, is probably not too sketchy, if you do your homework.

I hear that, plus interest rates are quite low still trying to suck people in. So when you buy a 150k house you're not paying for a 300k house in the end of your note. It's a good market to buy in if you don't plan on selling. Prob the best way to sum it up. Buying and flipping properties wouldn't be my choice of profession these days.
