Do Bedliners Really Help Resale Value?
I was reading an article on an after-market company blog and it got me wondering…do bed liners REALLY help with resale? Here’s the section of text that got me wondering:
Checking on Edmunds.com, KBB.com, and checking [various truck] models on the NADAGuides.com website, most bedliners only seem to add $50-$100 in resale value.
When I first read this, I said “No way!” $50-100 for a bedliner? That seems absurdly low, especially when you consider that spray-in bed liners are so expensive and essentially last forever.
Spray-in bed liners look great, last a long time, and aren’t exactly cheap…why don’t they boost resale values more than $50-$100?
However, I did a little digging and found that most of the time, a bed liner is only a $50-$100 “add” when you look at trade-in or private party value online. I checked used Rams, Fords, and Tundras on KBB.com, Edmunds, and NADAguides.com…and they always came back in that range. Even on trucks that were relatively new.
The next question in my mind – why so little? For the answer, I called a couple of friends in the car business.
What Your Toyota Trade In is REALLY Worth
UPDATE: This year, Ford is gearing up to release an all-new truck at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show (Tim will be there on January 13 and 14). With this in mind, we thought it would be fun to rehash this article about trade in value.
One of the benefits of buying a new Tundra is that it is consistently at the top of the industry in terms of resale value. All things being equal, a Tundra holds it’s value as well as or better than an F150, Ram, or Silverado/Sierra – at least according to studies released by KBB.com, Edmunds.com, AOL autos, and many others over the last few years. As a result of all this positive press, many Tundra owners expect top dollar for their trucks…but how does a Tundra owner figure out what their truck is really worth?
With new pickups on the market, are you ready to trade in your old one? Here is the skinny on how it works.

AutoTrader.com Reports 8% Increase in Used Tundra Values During Last Year
According to AutoTrader.com, the average asking price of a certified pre-owned Toyota Tundra increased 8% between March 2010 and March 2011, from $24,732 to $26,684. While AutoTrader.com says that the increase in pricing may be a result of speculation regarding a vehicle shortage, that seems a little unlikely. The market usually reacts to shortages rather than forecasts them.
Instead, this is probably just another sign that the Tundra’s resale value – and demand with consumers – is top-notch.
Tundra resale value is high because:
