What is “Blue Book value”? Kelly Blue Book is used by a lot of dealers, and will often be featured on a dealership’s website. We like it because it utilizes a ton of different data to calculate your car’s trade-in value, meaning it uses over 250 data sources with 3 trillion data points. It not only calculates the value of your car, but specifically its value when traded in at a Neptune Beach dealership. It’s so accurate, we’ll give you an instant cash offer based on the value it calculates. What’s the blue book value of your car? You can look it uphere!
Black Book is the major competitor to Kelly Blue Book. A Black Book vs. Blue Book comparison shows that it does not use as many data points as Kelly Blue Book, nor is it as consumer friendly. However, it does update weekly and uses actual vehicle transaction pricing data.
Both Black Book and Kelly Blue Book use accurate data modeling to calculate a car’s trade in value, meaning they are both reliable. However, we prefer the broader data approach and transparency to customers that Kelly Blue Book provides. Here’s a comparison of what each service uses to evaluate a vehicle:
