The higher ones are to make consumers feel better. As for being off
by $1100, you can go that far simply by changing the mileage or
paint and body condition.

Re: realisitic blue book value?
 

Banks always use NADA, so if someone is going to get a loan for your Jeep,
use that one. I have found KBB to be a bit high and Edmonds to be a bit
low. The average of the two usually is about right (and will sometimes
match NADA).

Another thing you can do is look on cars.com/autotrader.com for similar
Jeeps in your region. That should give you a good idea of "fair market
value" where you live.

FYI, I listed mine on cars.com and was swamped with calls...

Good luck.

Re: realisitic blue book value?
 

Thanks, everyone, for all your feedback. This is the first time in a
l-o-n-g time I've tried to sell a vehicle by myself. I'm thinking right now
that, maybe I'll put an add or two on the internet and if it sells, great.
If not, I'll wait until April/May and try to sell it around here.
Wish me luck. :-)
