Default Need advice with used car values

I've noticed there's the NADA, Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds.com out their for apprasial values. I'm wondering which is the most accurate. I know my local CarMax dealership uses Kelly Blue Book. Just need to know about that and if any knows which month when vehicle prices drop substanially for the new model year.

Also, would a '01 need to be "flawless" to be considered in excellent condition?

It's all about current market value.

I'm, not actually seeing a question. Racer's saying the car's worth whatever someone's willing to give you for it. For example, I'm seeing 2001's ranging from 15.5 to 23K. Nobody's going to buy them at 23, 15.5 probably means there's something wrong with the car. So, clearly the real "value"'s somewhere in between.

What I typically do to determine "value" is do an autotrader search for the year within about a 200 mile radius of my house.
