Trade-In Appraisal
Black Book: How It Is Used
When it's time to say goodbye to your old car and upgrade to a newer model, the first step is determining the value of your current vehicle.
The automotive industry can be quite complex, making it difficult to assess a car’s worth. That's why vehicle valuation tools have become indispensable.
One of the most popular tools for this purpose is the Canadian Black Book (CBB). Although it's no longer a physical book — it now exists online — the Canadian Black Book remains a leader in automotive pricing.
CBB analyzes historical and transactional sales data at the provincial level to deliver the most accurate vehicle values to buyers, sellers, and dealers.
What Is Canadian Black Book?
Canadian Black Book has shifted to an online platform and remains a reliable source for valuing both new and used vehicles.
It also provides tailored data licensing solutions and assists lenders with origination and risk analysis.
For individuals aiming to buy or sell cars and trucks privately, Canadian Black Book serves as an essential resource for determining your car's trade-in value or evaluating if the price you're about to pay is fair or slightly inflated.
They establish these values by thoroughly analyzing nationwide auction and online sales data.
