the black book is what dealerships and banks use to determine prices and loans.
Noone really uses the blue book anymore unless they are a personal seller.

Black Book is a relatively new book that is actually LOWERING the value of used cars for dealers. It is used in some auctions these days. In my opinion, its a way for dealers to offer you a lower price on a trade ("Oh, well that is what it says in my black book....")

never really went by the book ....go to used car lots see if any other car like yours is for sale ...look in the forsale ads in local paper and that way you can get a good idea of your selling price.....if you have mods it`ll be higher....get an appraisel...it really helps with that and if you get in a accident and you have a appraisel which insurance companys know is a good trustworthy one ....you`ll get your full appraisel price from them ...not the oh its a 93 SSE and give you the industry book price....trust me on this one it works
