Hi group:

A friend of mine is asking for my assistance in selling his 1995 Buick
Grand Sport Coupe.  I went to the websites of Edmunds and Kelley Blue
Book and the results for a private seller were quite different from
each other.

For Edmunds I inputted the following variables:

Condition of vehicle: Clean (not Outstanding or Average)
Color: white
Mileage: 113,253

AM/FM/Cassette/CD Audio System
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Bucket Seats
Keyless Entry System
Power Antenna
Power Driver Seat
Power Exterior Mirrors
Power Front Passenger Seat
Power Moonroof
Rear Window Defroster
Remote Trunk Release

For Kelley Blue Book I inputted the following variables:

Condition of vehicle: Good (not Excellent or Fair)
3.8L V6 engine
Mileage: 113,253 (Typical mileage for this vehicle is 92,000 miles)

Standard Equipment entered by KBB which is on my friend's car:

Air Conditioning
Power Steering
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Tilt Wheel
Cruise Control
Am/Fm Stereo Radio
Dual Front Air Bags
ABS (4 wheel)
Alloy Wheels

I added the following options:

Gran Touring Package
Cassette
Single Compact Disk
Dual Power Seats
Power Sun Roof

The results of determining the Private Party Fair Market Value (FMV)
are:

Edmunds: $1,921

Kelley Blue Book $2,940

Why are their such large differences between the FMV using these two
services?

I look forward to your comments.
