I feel NADAguides is more precise because we get our pricing from local real world price (AutoTrader price).

The price a dealer is willing to and actually being able to sell at are 2 totally different values. NADA doesn't have a clue with how much the dealer has into each vehicle, just their *asking of list* price on a vehicle for sale and/or what a vehicle sold for recently. They also don't equate for and the variances in condition either. Yes, it's a decent guide(much better than Edmunds & Kelly BB), but nothing beats going on AutoTrader and seeing what *comparable* vehicles in a 100-200 mile radius are going for. Take in the lowest priced listings with you into the dealer (or private party)and start from there. Many times right before a dealer is getting ready to wholesale an older unit, they list it at a blow out price. Remember, sources like Edmunds & Kelly BB are guides and many times they are way off are real world, on the street *asking prices* because they don't represent actual vehicles for sale. Also, I feel many times when shopping with the NADA book, that a good price to pay is loan value or below.
