More than 60 percent of cars, vans, and trucks on the road are 12 years old or older, and the used-car business is booming -- yet most consumers don't know how much to ask for their vehicle when selling it, or what to pay when buying a used car. Everyone has heard of the "Blue Book" value of a used car, but until 1993, the Blue Book was sold only to auto dealers, financial institutions, and other businesses. Now anyone can own this recognized authority in used vehicle pricing -- the only guide to cover up to 15 years of values. Updated twice a year, the consumer edition of the Kelley Blue Book: -- Includes the VIN (Vehicle information Number), original list price, and two retail values (for "good" and "excellent" condition) on both domestic and imported vehicles, from 1982 through 1996-- Gives acceptable mileage ranges for each year of production-- Tells how specific optional factory features (sun roofs, sound systems, power accessories, and transmission types) should affect the asking price-- Provides easy-to-use schedules listing yearly retail values for optional factory equipmentThe introduction explains how to use the various tables and the difference between an "excellent" and a "good" vehicle. It details the kind of reconditioning consumers should perform before putting their vehicle on the market, and alerts buyers to the not-so-obvious reconditioning dealers often perform.Kelley Blue Book Used Car Guide July-December 1997 : Consumer Edition, Covers 1982-1996 Cars, Vans and Trucks, was published 1997 under ISBN 9781883392178 and ISBN 1883392179.
