Isn't it amazing how price guides purport to know the value of a vehicle,
yet are under no obligation to stand behind that value (as in writing a
check)?
In years past the NADA guide was used exclusively by the lenders to
determine the loan value. It allowed lenders to loan more, and ppl to pay
too much.
To me, it makes the guides rather worthless.
