A Wholesale Value is the amount a dealer has invested in a vehicle that has been fully reconditioned, inspected and prepared for retail sale. Wholesale Value is used institutionally for regulatory compliance and internal analysis by financial institutions, insurance companies and governmental agencies.

A The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices and is the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. This Suggested Retail Value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history. This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. See similar questions...

A Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes. See similar questions...

A Trade-in Value is what consumers can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in vehicle assuming an accurate appraisal of condition. This value will likely be less than the Private Party Value because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections, reconditioning and other costs of doing business.

What kind of auto insurance coverage should an older car carry? You should at least have the minimum auto liability insurance required by your state. Many people with older cars do not purchase collision or comprehensive coverages. With an older car, the cost of repairing the physical damages to the car may be greater than the value of the car. In that case, your car insurance company may declare your car "total" and give you a check for the car's market value. See similar questions...

No, there is no Kelley Blue Book publication that provides values for Canadian vehicles. This is a USA based used auto values publication that is similar to the Canadian Black Book or the Canadian Red Book. The main difference besides being priced out in US currency is that the Kelley Blue Book also covers motorcycles, where as in Canada you would need to refer to the Canadian Blue Book to find values for motorcycles.

We generally don't deal in used cars unless it's a rare trade-in. Hemmings, CobraCountry.com and Dayan's House of Cobras frequently have ERA's, though, but don't expect any bargains. Resale value on ERA's is usually very high. The good part of that equation is that if you ever want to sell your ERA, you can get top money - without waiting forever. See similar questions...

Here's the key: you have to know that it is a wonderful company before you can figure the value. You simply can't figure the value of a company that isn't wonderful, no matter how much you want to. A wonderful company has some sort of durable competitive advantage (Moat) and its future is predictable. See similar questions...

Sort of. David Schwimmer, who plays the neurotic Ross, appeared on the first four episodes of NYPD Blue's first season as Josh "4B" Goldstein, a lawyer with a crush on Laura Kelly who attempted to become a vigilante after he was mugged in his building's laundry room. 4B was shot and killed while attempting to break up a mugging on the subway.

At the moment, only 2004-2006 Priuses. Older "Classic" Priuses lack the low-speed electric-only mode and the battery storage space that makes this possible. Honda Insight, Civic and Accord use an entirely different design: the electric motor never runs without the gasoline engine running at the same time. Other hybrids, including Ford Escape, Toyota Highlander and Lexus 400H, are possible future candidates. We are not exploring PHEV versions of gasoline-only (non-hybrid) cars.

The wholesale value (sometimes called trade-in value) of a used vehicle is the value someone will pay, who plans to resell that used vehicle. The Kelly Blue Book, the Auto Market Report, the NADA Official Used Car Guide, the Galves Auto Price List and the Black Book (some of which can be found at libraries, banks or credit unions) are useful guides in determining your used vehicle's wholesale value, but they are not absolute. Regional and local areas vary a great deal in wholesale values. See similar questions...
