When is it considered a good time to trade in? - Toyota Yaris Forums

For used cars I check Auto Trader, Yahoo Auto or Cars.com. You wont get a real value, however, you can see what others are selling their car for and get a feel for the market.

Yeah, that's true, that would work too. Thanks!

Just to be clear, I'm in no hurry to give up my little Yaris!

Just trying to be a more informed customer so if a good opportunity knocks at my door, I know what to do.

I really appreciate all the input. Thank you all very much.

I've posted this before, but every bank and insurance company I've ever dealt with used NADA (nadaguide.com) to determine a vehicle's value. This includes federal court (bankruptcy several years ago), my state government (worked determining Medicaid eligibility while I was in college), Progressive (printout straight from NADA when I totaled my car last year), and numerous other agencies. Personally, I don't look at anything else because I know whatever place I deal with will use NADA.
