Kelley Blue Book Used Car

Q.Does anyone know where I can get quick access to the Kelley blue book for used cars?

A.Try your bank. They usually let customers use theirs. Or you can subscribe by contacting Kelley: Kelley Blue Book company 5 Oldfield Irvine, CA 92718 (800) 258-3266 Just about any bookstore. The NADA "Yellow Book," which is more commonly used by dealers, is harder to get, but I have seen it at Barnes & Noble bookstore. Libraries will almost always have a copy as well. The NADA "Yellow Book" that they sell at the bookstore only has the retail prices of the cars, which are always higher than the wholesale prices that the dealers use.I would suggest trying your bank. Our college credit union has a little table in the lobby where they have all the NADA wholesale books out. Everything from cars, to boats, RV's and motorcycles, etc.
