NADA or KBB are the 2 most common ones.

It's only worth what people are paying currently. If you want real world values, go to the "list" or the "bay" or traderonline, car soup, and see what other vehicles like yours are going for, and actully selling.

Too many ways for KBB to be wrong. First and foremost it requires an educated honest description of the vehicle. That always happens right? haha For instance, how many times has the term "little rust" been used. To some that's a couple bubbles here and there. For others it might mean nothing falls out of the trunk or thru the floor yet.

An actual vehicle appraiser might be more accurate depending on your needs.

I didn't know KBB has a rust value?

I always used KBB and took a little bit off the value it listed. People always thought they were getting a good deal and I was happy with the price i sold the stuff at!

KBB is good if you are honest about your car (condition, mileage, options). They have values for car condition (excellent, good, average, bad with descriptors of each) and the type of transaction (trade in, retail, private sale). Its only a guide, but it will get you in the ballpark. After that, do a little research on what is comparable out there, based on what you are planning on doing with the vehicle.

Well actually I was looking for a price so I could offer it to a buddy who is selling his truck So yes a honest description of the vehicle as I see it will be used

KBB, NADA, or any other place you get your value from is only an opinion that will get you in the ballpark compared to other similar vehicles but I wouldn't view them as gospel. It still comes down to how quickly you want or need to sell and how badly the buyer wants or needs to buy.

When I just traded in my vehicle to a dealer, they wouldn't even look at the KBB or NADA on MY vehicle. instead they pulled up what the prices were on the same vehicle at dealer auctions. That was what they would give me. Yet they handed me the KBB sheet on what THEIR vehicle was worth, which just happened to be $300 more than their price! My point is: It's all relative and what you think it's worth.
