Subject:Kelly's Blue Book VS Edmonds's Car Price Index
From:Pollard, Matthew
Date:Thu, 5 Nov 1998 08:17:41 -0800

Kelly's blue books must backed by dealers and must be ran by a bunch
of crooks!
        For example:
        lets say i'm selling an 89 Vanagon GL, 4spd manual, 2wd, and
150,000K and in my zip code (santa clara california: 95051). Power steering,
cd player, sun roof :-) and alloy wheels... and in "good" condition

        Kelly's trade in: $4465
        Kelly's Suggested retail: $8350

        Edmonds (w/o option of above and not adjusted for miliage over
120,200)
         Trade-In  $4,040
         Market $6,520

        Edmonds has a great breakdown of what the options were that year and
sort....

        well, my IMHO
        back to the grind
        Cheers!
