If everyone used NADA consistently everything would be fine. Unfortunately, dealers use whatever is most favorable for them (NADA for trade-in value and KBB for used car value). I generally have found KBB values to be inflated and unrealistic.

You'll find that NADA appraises vehicle values lower than KBB, Edmunds, et al. It seems that the insurance industry is in cahoots with NADA because that's the guide they use to appraise a vehicle's value (to their advantage) whenever it's totaled.
