There's a few vehicles (across various makes) where KBB just doesn't fit.

(none of my commentary/opinion applies to salvage title/rebuilt cars)

Where that REALLY hurts isn't buying/selling, it's when fighting INS Co's. Too often they want to use the lowest valuation of the make/model, not necessarily the options. If you need proof, google Totaled Jetta TDI wagon. I'm sure you'll find nightmare stories about cars being valued at the lowest 2.0 engine trims, when even high mile examples (>200k) still sell for more than $5-6k, nice ones bring closer to $7-8k.

Aside from that, I'd say the "market" indicates a fairly well maintained 6 speed allroad, with ~150k is going to ask $5k or so(as Econoguy noted, maint, upgrades, etc. will sway that). I wonder at times, if the KBB valuation for an allroad is treating it like and A6/C5 (auto)??

Just my 2 cents, which is probably worth less as an allroad owner.

        "with both running" that made me chuckle. The lower RPM powerband is what I like.   -  RexNICO  2016-08-21 15:00:45 (156 views)
        
        No on the W8 for me, all of the weirdness and none of the power :-(  -  Econguy  2016-08-19 21:45:27 (156 views)
