A car in excellent condition has an entire (provable) record of service and a clean title history.
The engine should also appear to be free of wear and tear. The engine should have no observable flaws or fluid leaks. The interior should be as clean as a new vehicle. Excellent ConditionĪ vehicle is deemed in excellent or very good condition by KBB vehicle values if it appears and drives like a new car, hasn’t had bodywork (including paint), lacks rust, is in perfect mechanical condition, and doesn’t require any repairs whatsoever. Kelley Blue Book’s estimate will affect your car’s trade-in value or asking price, given your local market conditions. The Blue Book assessment quiz takes into account several specific aspects of the exterior, interior, and mechanical conditions, as well as whether or not the vehicle has complete maintenance records, passes emissions testing and has a clean title. Very few used cars fall into the excellent category most fall into the good or fair categories.
Kelley Blue Book has four condition classifications for used cars, boats, and motorcycles: excellent, good, fair, and poor condition.
