Kelley Blue Book Used Pricing Guide

What is my car worth? It is an extremely common question, and it becomes an extremely important question to you financially whenever you are thinking of buying a new car. Whether you plan to sell your current car or trade it in to the dealer where you buy your next vehicle, understanding the value of your car is critical. You simply can't get the best deal for yourself without having that information at your fingertips. And consumers aren't the only ones who need to know vehicle values. New and used car dealers, banks, credit unions, and insurance companies also need to have that information. For nearly 100 years, Kelley Blue Book has been an acknowledged third-party source of vehicle values, first to the industry and then, in more recent years, to consumer car buyers and sellers as well.

Where Was My Car Built

When you think about the cars on the road today, one point of information that often comes up is the car's origins. You might tell others, "I have an American car" or "I like the quality of a Japanese car" or "those German cars are very cool." The interesting thing about that is the people who say those things might have very little understanding of where a specific car is actually being built and thus might be totally misrepresenting it. For instance, a vehicle that might be referred to as a "Japanese car," for instance a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, was more than likely assembled in the United States, while a vehicle you might assume is an "American car" like the Chrysler Pacifica minivan is built in Canada. Because the auto industry has gargantuan global scope, these examples are not anomalies. Instead, they are very representative of how the industry works.
