How to Find the Value of a 1999 Honda Accord
Finding the value of any car can be daunting if you don't know where to look. Fortunately, the Honda Accord has been one of the most popular cars sold in the United States for more than 20 years, making comparison pricing easier for consumers. The 1999 model was the second best selling passenger car in its year, selling 404,192 units. Accords have been recognized repeatedly as one of the cars to best retain their value. Whether you are buying, selling or merely interested in appraising your Honda Accord, finding its current value isn't difficult given their longstanding popularity.

Look up your Honda Accord's blue book value. Kelley Blue Book is a popular resource for used car pricing, and is readily available in physical form at any library, and is easily accessed online. Online Blue Book appraisals are free. Kelley Blue Book will ask you to provide information on the condition of the car and your location before determining its current value. You will be given a trade-in value, a private party value and a suggested retail value, making this a valuable resource whether you're shopping for an Accord or selling one.

Appraise your car on Edmunds.com. Edmunds was founded in 1966 as a publisher of auto specification guides and has grown to become one of the most popular sites for determining a car's True Market Value. Edmunds can provide information on your car's current market value and offers services to help you buy or sell your Honda Accord.

Look for comparable vehicles for sale in your area. While Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds offer statistics and calculators for your Accord's value, nothing will tell you more accurately what people are willing to pay for your car than doing research in your own city. Check for other 1999 Accords in the classified ads in your local newspaper or on free classified ad websites like Craigslist.com. Have your car appraised at a Honda dealership and find out what trade-in value you would get there. While you're at a local dealership, check out what they are charging for similar models. While you probably can't sell your car for the same price as a dealership, at least you'll have an idea of where to start.
