Trade in: Kelly Blue Book is 40% higher than Edmunds?

[JEDI]

2009 Altima 2.5 SL, automatic, 25k miles

Edmunds: $10k trade in/12k private sale
Kelly BB: $14k trade in/$16k private sale

WTF?! Which is more right?

 

[SSSnail]

Whichever pays YOU more.

Whichever pays YOU more.

Agreed. Its not what its worth, its what they pay. Some places will give you more for the trade but not move on the price and some will do the other way.

Do the numbers and figure the best deal.

NADA is more accurate... at least when it comes to insurance payouts.

KBB has always been historically high. Dealers use the Black Book, or NADA. Those more accurately reflect the real world prices.

This. Although in your case, NADA indicates trade-in value of 16k? :\

Hmm, that's way too large of a spread between those two. In this particular case, KBB looks much closer to the actual market.
