Title: Best site for estimating car values?
Post by: Monkeyleg on October 30, 2007, 04:52:16 AM
Is there a site you're aware of that gives accurate estimates as to a car's resale value? I've checked out Kelly Blue Book, and the resale values seem rather high.

If given a few minutes I can look up most domestics in the Black Book.

Paper though,nothing on-line.

www.nada.com

This what I use, if I really want to know everything I call my little brother who is a manager at a GM car lot and he looks it up in their book.

kbb.com is a high, relative to edmunds.com.  I haven't used nada.com much.

They are all rough guesstimates.  They use algorithms to discount vehicles' values over time, not actual market data.

To get a more accurate estimate, shop your vehicle around.  You'll get an idea of the wholesale price for your market.

There's several online. You can find what your car is going for. We used it when we bought our last car to price shop. It beats driving all over the place.
