Vehicle 'Black book' Value?

Hi Folks,

I'm not in the market right now, but this spring I'll be looking for a used vehicle. I understand that there is a 'Black book' out there which list what vehicles are going for at auction. Does anyone know about this?

Cheers- Chris

Is the Black Book different than the Blue Book? I know that Blue Book refers to the going price.

Banks usually go off of a car's black book value. Blue Books are usually made availiable to the public where the black book is much harder to get a hold of if you're not in the car/fianance industry.

I use black book every day to appraise vehicles...i probably bid 10 or so a day on average. The black book is basically a printed guide of auction avergaes by make and model with mileage deductions for each year by class or category in the rear. Its a handy tool that has been around for years. Funny thing is most of my banks use NADA to deternine how much they will loan on a car when someone is buying it! I actually compile all data when valuing a vehicle...blue book,black book,NADA,and Manheim to get the best idea of what the actual value is.
