What's Your Car Worth?
Used Car Values
Get the current Canadian Black Book wholesale value (what it's worth to a dealer as a trade in) of your used car here via this pass-through link on DaimlerChrysler Canada's website to the Canadian Black Book's database.
Also, check out both wholesale and retail (what a dealer would sell it for) values at VMR Canada.
Here's another tip. Visit the Auto Trader magazine and search for your own vehicle to see what price others are trying to sell it for in your area in Canada.
As well, your local bank's loan officer should have printed copies of the weekly Black Book (listing wholesale values) and the Red Book (retail values) that will help you find the current value of your vehicle.
Another source is canadiancarprices.com. For a fee, the site will tell you current wholesale and retail pricing for the Canadian used car market.
In addition, new car pricing and invoice costs can be found at the fee-based CarCostCanada, This site offers new-car pricing reports that give you full disclosure on what the dealer actually pays for your car and what your best-possible price should be.
