is kelly blue book accurate these days?
It depends on the demand for the particular vehicle. An Excursion would be way below the book and a Pirus would be above book. On an average, I think the book is off by about 20% – if it has ever been accurate. On trades, the dealer often makes calls and gets bids, so you are seldom offered low book unless they have bumped the price on the new vehicle and are offering you “more” on your trade. as a real value. But when selling, it is book all the way.
