This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------4FC7696F420B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've been a little suspicious of blue book, since last one I bought (like the web site itself) had only one price, presumably "low book" but hard to tell; it seemed more dealer-oriented than consumer oriented, yet it cost me $8 or so... An alternative, for what it's worth, and I really don't know, is Edmund's, which also has a website and apparently is a competitor of blue book. It also reviews various car models (and seems to prefers the flashier stuff over reliability etc.) As I recall, it feels the VW van/bus is a "niche" vehicle and is not much impressed with it/them. A sample is attached. Cheers, Art >From pastLawrence Johnson wrote: > > becida@gtii.com wrote: > > > > Hello, > > Just found this site, Kelly Blue Book.
