Every time I ever used Kelley Blue Book it's the complete opposite experience, the market average is always way above the Kelley book retail, and trade in is like $8,000 Below Retail.

Those are just two examples off the top of my head. I'm sure you could find much more polar cases. Sometimes they're somewhat accurate, but only relying on the book will regularly have you miss out on great deals while overpaying for junk that nobody wants.
10 maj 2021 · Hi all, I'm moving to the States soon and will need to buy a car.
