The different values looks like dealer markup, which seems to imply that Edmunds is priced for dealers when they take trade ins.

As far as buying, if you could buy at the Edmunds price, it would be the better deal.

As far as selling, Blue Book is the better deal.

I tried trading my car in not too long ago and they used Kellys blue book for me. It was a new car dealership too. That is just my experience.

With that said, I dont know which would be the most reliable. I sure didnt like what they said with Kelly's, so I still have my car, lol!
