Welcome to our bluebook pricing guide. A bluebook
is a periodic publication of price lists that is
used as a reference for valuations. Companies
such as Kelly Bluebook & NADA have extensive
processes which gather, compile, analyze and present
pricing information on products.
Difference Between Kelly Bluebook & NADA
Kelly Bluebook & NADA are two distinct companies
with no affiliations. Each company that publishes a blue book utilizes
a proprietary process for determining the bluebook value.
Bluebook valuations include each company having
experts analyze data from a variety
of sources such as wholesale auctions, car dealers
and bank loans. Because each company uses a unique
process, variations in price lists may exist
between one company and another. For example NADA

acceptable mileage ranges which differ between
each company. Thus, when comparing blue book
values, its important to understand the differences
between the sources of data.
