Trade-in valuation provided by Kelley Blue Book is commonly referred to as simply “blue book” trade-in valuation. It’s used by many car dealers because it is free and requires no monthly payment. It ranks cars into four main categories: excellent, good, fair, and poor. That having been said, Blue Book valuation sometimes is on the higher end of what’s considered normal or fair, especially when buying a new-to-you . Accordingly, if you’re trying to find your trade-in’s value meaning, you may not get as much as the Blue Book valuation would suggest, which can seem misleading to some Howell Township drivers.
So, what is black book value exactly? Black book trade-in valuation is widely used by many dealers, including us here at Automotive Avenues in Wall. It often provides more up-to-date information about car and truck transactions than Kelley Blue Book, making it potentially more accurate. Why? Black Book updates the dealer invoice and MSRP of vehicles every week.
As you can see, Black Book and Blue Book values both serve a purpose. Here’s a rundown on the main differences between black book vs. blue book for your convenience:
