When I was looking I noted big differences in valuation between KBB and Edmunds with KBB generally being much higher. Good S's seemed rare and I saw lots of cars that were well worn. Many owners will do oil changes, brakes when they get to the wear indicators and tires, but seem to defer other needed maintenance. Saw cars with torn CV boots, bad tops, shot shocks, worn S belt, bad motor/trans mounts, leaking water pumps, etc. Most sellers I talked to actually knew little about their cars- mention of IMS, RMS, AOS would elicit blank stares. Unfortunately I expect sellers that have done IMS upgrades, etc. won't recoup the value from the typical buyer. Sites like this and RL, some others probably offer a better chance to get value for a well maintained car. Hate to sound cynical, but with few exceptions buying or selling used cars is a real pain.
