Never trust kbb...most states / dealers use some other sort of guide. I know some NJ dealers use Galves and PA in my experience use Black Book. KBB is typically 3-5k higher than what you can expect to get on a trade.

So my truck really is worth 21,000 most likely?

You can look at it either way...really depends on the dealer and which numbers they want to match. In my experience whatever i thought my car was worth, dealer usually took about $3500 off of that. If they want the sale they will work with you...if not, like i told the manager at a ford dealership in paramus, nj...it's a ford...not hard to find a dealer willing to work with me...with that i took my business elsewhere.

Fairway quoted me 19,000 for my truck. Compared to the dealership im talking to now for 24,000

it probably ends up offsetting bc of there lower price for the truck. What was the otd price for their comparable fx4?

38,000 with taxes and fees, but the one my dealer is offering has less options such as appearance, navigation, dual climate, appearance package. Id be saving like 6000 dollars with the one my dealer is offering.

So the fairway one is fully loaded for the same price as the other dealers not so loaded fx4?

About its 1000 difference, for the truck itself but my dealers willing to give me 24,000 while fairway is offering 19,000. so about 6000 dollars difference.

see if one or the other will bend a bit, fairway on dollars, your dealer on options...there's always ways to work numbers in your favor...
