Kelly is consistantly thousands more than Edmunds. Does anyone know why?   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Senior Member Username: Brianfriend Post Number: 1166 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, November 17, 2003 - 10:00 pm:    because Kelly runs numbers based on west coast dealer's asking price. Edmunds runs numbers based on actually DMV sales records for your zip code area.   Brian Dickens (Bri) Senior Member Username: Bri Post Number: 822 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 12:40 pm:    Yeah so you get sellers using KBB and buyers using edmunds, what a cluster.   Robin Marshall (Sirrobin) New Member Username: Sirrobin Post Number: 10 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 07:05 pm:    Dealers will also used the infamous "black" book or "auction" book when they are giving you money (ie pricing your trade). This one is by far the lowest.. obviously.
