What Is The Kelly Blue Book ?
Not to be confused with many misspellings and
interpretations like Kelly's Blue's
Books , Kelly Blues Books or
Kelly Bluebook.The Kelley Blue
Book is not found in any bookstore
or Textbook.The Kelley Blue Book is not a
manual either. So What is it then ? Well some call it
,"The Online Automotive Vehicle Pricing Bookstore Manual".Yes
thats a mouthful but thats what it is .Its in essence a
bookstore,manual and guide on automotive pricing and second
hand vehicles all in one place. Do yourself a favor and do
your numbers correctly because The Blue Book will make or save
you thousands of dollars overnight if you use it correctly.
If you’re wanting to buy second hand, be sure to look
in the Kelly Blue Book before you get too far into your search.
Utilising the Blue Book Values is a fantastic way for you to
gauge how much you should spend for the car you’re interested
in.
Kbb covers all aspects of second hand and used-car pricing. It
tells you how much you should pay for almost every car that’s
ever been made, and is organized in an easy-to-use style by
make, model, year of the car and condition.
Be aware that there are a few well known things the Kelly Blue
Book Prices aren't much good for. It doesn’t give any
indication of how dependable a car is, or how problematic it
is. You can get some idea of this by gauging how well the car
holds its value, but Kelly Blue Book will mostly tell you
pricing.
Consumer studies and Car and Driver tesing will tell you much
of what you need to know about a car’s performance. For
example—life expectancy, repair costs, and—point by point—which
systems of the car (e.g. transmission, engine) are most likely
to need to be repaired or replaced, and which may not be cause
for issues. You’ll locate a wide range of information about
almost every car that’s ever been made, written by real people
who have little or no vested interest.
Of course, none of these are enough because the KBB is
a famous resource that will explain how much to
spend, provide consumer reports, car and driver opinion and
will give you strengths and weaknesses of the cars you’re
interested in. But after all that we still also recommend
getting the car looked at by a mechanic you trust. And trust
yourself to find problems on the test drive, even if you don’t
know much about autos. Because you do have to drive it
ultimately so your assessement from behind the wheel is the
most important of all.

I was looking for a used car in the California area
and found the Blue Book online and was amazed to find the
kind of values suggested to me by car dealers was far
higher than blue book told me.I managed to save $1000 due
to quoting KBB pricing to the dealer concerned.I totally
reccomend it to all

using it.
