Nada values....weird

[Rafs-T-Type]

Just for the hell of it I nada'ed my t-type to see what it says it's worth and noticed a strange thing....it takes off 10% for being a 6 cylinder....anyone have a guess why that may be...and yes it takes of 10% for 6 cyl grand nationals too

Yea, that's kinda stupid since an 8 cylinder is not even an option for a TR. I clicked on 4 cylinder and it maked it down 15% and obviously 4 cylinders were not an option either.

I guess it's just a generic program that deducts for 4 and 6 cylinder vehicles I guess.

It apparently stems from vehicles that had an 8 cylinder option but there was not a V8 option for a Buick Turbo Regal in 86 or 87. There was the Olds 305 but no TR so their filtering system is flawed.

What really sux is a lot of credit unions use NADA to access loan value so anyone wanting a TR loan is basically getten screwed as it's lowering the actual loan value for an option that wasn't unavailable (V8).

I used to subscribe to a price guide called Cars of Particular Interest (CPI) They deal with just that...not your everyday grocery getting mini vans. The generic guides on-line are just that, generic.
