I would not put any faith in kbb. Check nada

I would not put faith in any of them. Take a look at what is for sale on Autotrader, Cars, Craigslist, etc. and think that they are the asking prices and most will come down during negotiations.

I do like KBB, NADA, etc for use in negotiations to buy one. Frequently they show a very incorrect value and if it is lower, it helps to negotiate a lower price when buying.

So after reading some comments I checked my car on kbb... It said $11,000!? Its a 2000 coupe with 70k on it... check NADA and its says $17,000 (bought the car with 60k on it for 16,500 last year). Im sticking with NADA!
