Kelly Blue Book's website lets you customize a valuation of your specific
vehicle.  It's pretty handy, at www.kbb.com.

Local libraries also usually have the Kelly Blue Book; often you can call
them and get a valuation over the phone.

I found that comparing the website data with the book data was sometimes
interesting and gave additional perspective.
