I'm a no-haggle dealer, so all of our cars are always priced below KBB, Edmunds and NADA pricing, sometimes thousands below. The discrepancy between the three sites (ESPECIALLY with pickup trucks) can be frustrating for everyone involved. Every dealer is different- I work on the theory of "less profit, turn the car over and sell it," vs. the typical "well, maybe there's ONE person out there that would pay through the nose for this car."
Car Gurus does not put a value on a car advertised. The seller can ask any amout they would like, dealer or individual. It is up the buyer to know what the car is worth.
