How accurae is KBB and NADA for pricing?

I need some help. I am looking at a very nice and maintained 2003 x5 4.4 with 93K miles. The car has been for sale on Craigslist for about a month now and asking 16K. When I go to KBB I get $14,500 and NADA I get $13,200. The reason why I am asking is I have a Mercedes CLK430 and I put mine up for sale this past summer for KBB average price in good condition and did not get email and went to a Mercedes forum and they said the cars don't at all at the KBB prices as they tend to be high.

What do you all think a fair price is for this car in good condition?

KBB price is usually high. If you are dealing with a dealer use Galves: Better than Kelly Blue Book for used car values! as baseline as that's what all dealers use to price when you bring your car for trade-in.

I use KBB and NADA as a reference, but also Autotrader and Cars.com to see what other people are trying to sell their cars for.

Try talking with your bank or credit union. My credit union will give me the wholesale price for what ever vin# I give them. Even if I am not borrowing money to purchase the car they will at least give me the wholesale value of the car. Reason being is that they will only loan up to wholesale amount for used cars.

Try Edmunds.com and appraise it there. They seem to be pretty close to reality.

KBB is always high. Edmunds is definitely closer to real value. That BlackBook one I posted I have yet to see how accurate that one is.

Edmunds is really low. For the 2003 x5 I am looking at it has a private party value of $12,100 and the person is asking $16,000. I was not going to pay anything close o $16K but was not expecting Edmunds to be so low. The car is really nice but the remote door locks dont work and the drivers side power seat does not work based on that and the Edmunds price could not see offering more than $11000. Think they might be insulted.

The Black Book is what the majority of dealerships use. Deals more with wholesale prices.
