Please take the time to explore our web site to gain a better understanding of the used vehicle marketplace here in Canada.
Black Book Pricing Literature
Wholesale Prices: Published values based on information gathered by Canadian Black Book ® reporters from the major dealer only auto auctions across Canada each week. The condition of the used vehicle and total kilometers will determine its value. Consider such items as interior and exterior appearance, mechanical condition and tires when determining price.
Retail Prices: Retail prices are based on the accepted price of the sellers.
Mileage: The industry standard is 24,000 kilometers per model year, thus kilometers above or below the industry standard may influence the overall classification of the vehicle. Mileage adjustments should never exceed 50% of the published value. We have an easy to use mileage calculating tool for the convience of our Members.
Did You Know?
Canadian Blue Book © Unlike the Kelly Blue Book which is one of the most popular used car pricing guide in the United States, the Canadian Blue Book does not contain auto values at all but is more of an all seasons publication that publishes values for boats, Atv's, trailers, motorcycles, skidoos etc.
Canadian Red Book © Their book values shown are projected from thorough ongoing studies of the used car market in the greater Toronto area where a large volume of sales data is available. Canadian Red Book © pricing information is based on an average vehicle reconditioned to meet both the safety and visual standards to satisfy a retail sale.
