Default Re: kelly Blue Book values: are they close?

Blue book values are always a guesstimate. Not only does value depend on condition, but it also depends on consumer demand. I know up here in Canada supercab/crewcab diesel/gas, and 4x4's are plentiful but not down in the southern states, so we actually get US dealers buying these for any price to resell them there for quite a healthy profit. If you have a rare or very nice condition used car you should be getting more then your average retail and again if it's hard to get that model in your area you will get more or sell it faster. On average go about $1500 higher then wholesale to get a retail value. That's average. Some people ask more then that then come down to that #. Up to you what you think you have. Don't forget that if you price it to high nobody will come.
