Default Book values

Is it just me or does anyone else notice that the book (Nada and Kelly) values seem a good bit higher than what I see actual selling prices? Of course they are wrong on other vehicles too.

Good bit higher? If someone would give me KBB or NADA value for mine I'd kiss them on both cheeks like a Frenchman.

Price is always determined by market and demand, not a book. I think in a few years these cars will be close to current book value.

Yup, way optomistic for all cars listed.

The last few vehicles I bought were quite a bit under book value for dealer sale price. It was always fun telling the dealer that they weren't getting book value for the car I was buying because I wasn't getting book value for my trade in.
