Does anyone know if Edmunds, NADA, and Kelly are really accurate these days?

Of course not Silly! Those books are printed for schmucks that buy retail, they have never been objective ,, their purpose is to get you thinking you’re getting a good deal on that car and on your trade-in... The only book that you should consult is the black book for the auction house (Manheim etc.) ..

The Galves book still works very well to get a real price and even the small guy like me can go to their websaite and pay a small fee for a trade-in quote. Last I heard, most, if not all, used car dealers still use Galves.

Thanks for your response in letting me down gently! I have noticed that Edmunds is always the low price, NADA is middle and NADA is what State Farm uses if you have a total loss (which is a lot better than Geico will do for you).

I'll check out Manheim - have you used them much??
