So I was just checking the value of a used car. On KBB, it's $10,000. On Edmunds, it's $4000. So who to believe?

Different dealers use different books. A long time ago I negotiated a car's trade in value and the dealer used the KBB as their basis for negotiation. The next time I went to buy a car, I studied...

Hmm, is your KBB the retail price? Is Edmunds the trade price? My favorite way to check car values is to just go to Autotrader and search for your car, subtract for high mileage, body damage, etc.

I would definitely say that the Edmunds price is much closer to the actual price then KBB.

In my case, comp is $137 and collision is $157. I have no deductible on my comprehensive and a $500 deductible on my collision. If I raise my collision deductible to $1000 it'll be $45 lower. I...

KBB is selling as a private party or something like that price. KBB trade in price was about $1K lower. Edmunds is the appraised price.
Neither. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to...

OP, keep in mind that KBB, NADA, and Edmunds are only guides. It's no guarantee that you'll get that price. The car's true value is only really what someone else will pay for it. So you can try to...

Since this is for insurance coverage purposes, try to find out what your insurance company uses to price vehicles. I eventually got rid of collision on my car, but I kept the comprehensive so that I...

This. Or Adesa. By region too. Anything else isn't really much more than pure speculation.

Agreed, KBB and Edmunds can give you sense usually but craigslist, carsoup.com, or autotrader are the best places to find out the true value, although it takes more time and is up to interpretation....
