But what does that mean, and how do our Black Book values differ from Blue Book values? Read on to find out, or contact us with additional questions!

What Is Blue Book Value?

Trade-in valuation provided by Kelley Blue Book is commonly referred to as simply “Blue Book” trade-in valuation. It’s used by many car dealers because it is free and requires no monthly payment. It ranks cars into four main categories: excellent, good, fair, and poor. That having been said, Blue Book valuation sometimes is on the higher end of what’s considered normal or fair, especially when buying a new vehicle. Accordingly, if you’re trying to value your trade-in, you may not get as much as the Blue Book valuation would suggest, which can seem misleading to some Pembroke Pines drivers.

What Is Black Book Value?

What is Black Book value? Black Book trade-in valuation is widely used by many dealers including us here at Jaguar West Broward in Davie. It often provides more up-to-date information about car and truck transactions than Kelley Blue Book, making it potentially more accurate. Why? Black Book updates the dealer invoice and MSRP of vehicles weekly.
