I try to buy one of these for my Dad every year for a Christmas stocking stuffer. He's got everything he could ever want, and buys whatever he needs, but when he opens these on Christmas, he invariably spends the afternoon flipping through the pages. He's not a dealer or anything, just likes to keep his eye on values. He always buys his cars with a few thousand miles on them, just enough to get the major depreciation out of the way. Although I would choose to go to Edmunds.com or some other online site, Dad likes the book version, and I must agree, for looking at lots of prices at a time, it really is quicker.

This is a very helpful book to keep on top of the value of cars you may be interested in purchasing. It will also help you to figure out the value of your own car in case you are interested in selling it or trading it in.

Print is a little small and book kind of small to handle. It is also kind of complicated to use given adjustments needed for mileage (NOT INDICATED) and accessoies. Also your price is not discounted compared to street price.

We are very happy with our Kelly Blue Book Used Car Guide: July - September 2010: Consumer Edition. We just sold our 2004 Mazda RX8 to a good friend for $ 9,000.00. We figured out this fair price by using your book. Thanks a lot.
