What is Typical Listing Price?
What is Kelley Blue Book Typical Listing Price (Certified Pre-Owned)?
For most vehicles, CPO coverage typically increases market value between $1,000 and $2,000. The final sale price may vary according to the vehicle’s actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions. In other words, it’s the price you should expect a dealer to ask – not always the price you should pay.

Remember that vehicles sold in Canada (and other countries) often differ from their U.S. counterparts in engine spec and optional equipment.
Do you have pricing for other countries?
- Brazil – kbb.com.br
- Canada – kbb.ca
In addition, Kelley Blue Book data and valuations can be found on websites in these countries.
- Australia – kbb.com.au
- China – jingzhengu.com
Remember that vehicles sold in other countries may look the same as their U.S. counterparts, but often contain significant differences in engines, safety standards and optional equipment.
If you just want a general idea of pricing for a country where we don’t offer values, you can look up a vehicle in our Western region – and, of course, convert from U.S. dollars to your country’s currency. Use the ZIP code 92618. Keep in mind that since vehicles can vary significantly from country to country, it’s tricky to compare prices internationally.
As we continue to offer more global websites, we will pass the info on to you via KBB.com.
I'm not in the United States. Can I still get a Used Car Report?
Do you still sell the printed editions of Kelley Blue Book?
The good news? If you need to get the value or your current car or are interested in what you should pay for your next car, you can still find 21 years of new and used car pricing right here on KBB.com. In addition, we also offer values for motorcycles and ATVs.
