Everyone has heard of the "blue book" value of a used car, but until 1993, the Blue Book was sold only to auto dealers, financial institutions, and other businesses. Now, with this consumer's edition, readers can find out what they need to know about factory features, mileage, original list prices, and more, before they purchase a used car or truck.

More than 60 percent of the cars and trucks on the road are 12 years old or older and the used car business is booming, yet most consumers have little idea what to ask for when selling a vehicle or what to expect to pay for one. Updated twice a year, the consumer edition of the Kelley Blue Book includes the original list price, two retail values (for "good" and "excellent" condition) on domestic and imported vehicles, acceptable mileage rates, and more.
