If you're looking for the retail value from a dealership the used car blue book will provide the suggested retail price that will most likely be asked for all makes and models. Buyers can negotiate the suggested retail price, which will make the actual price of the car vary. The Kelley Blue Book takes into consideration that the used vehicles have a clear title and have been reconditioned along with the cost of sales commissions and other fees for purchasing a used car through a dealership.

To find the trade-in value of your vehicle the used car blue book will estimate what you might get for your car. Trade-in values are lower than retail value because the dealership has to cover the cost of reconditioning the car to sell it. The Kelley Blue Book will also provide the value that your car is worth if you buy or sell a used car from a private party.

The used car blue book will provide a condition rating. The categories used by the Kelley Blue Book are "excellent" or "good". To get an excellent rating by the used car blue book means that the car looks meticulous and has its mechanical condition is superb. The interior looks new, know wear and tear, and the paint is still glossy with no signs of rust. All in all, this is an extraordinary vehicle.

The vehicle also has a good rating as far as maintenance upkeep. In other words, this vehicle is a good buy, but not the best available.
