Kelly and Nada have slowly started to show book changes reflecting actual trade value. 2 months ago you could book an SUV out, basically cut that value in half that would be the trade in value. Best thing to get actual value is Manheim national auction.

Or before you trade in a vehicle, go to whom you purchased the vehicle from, and ask what they will pay for your vehicle out right. Not trade. This will give you actual cash value. When going in with a trade it's important to know a few terms.

Over Allow - they are giving you more than actual cash value
Under Allow - they are showing you less than actual cash value (profit to the dealer)

Dealers use an ACV slip in their deals that have what number they are actually paying for your trade, have them share that with you. If that doesn't satisfy you, ask to see the bid slip from whom they got their number from.

You have to understand the most important number is the amount financed or cash balance.
