The Kelley Blue Book is the go-to source for vehicle valuation in the U.S. It determines the value of cars based on factors like trade-in value, private-party value, and retail value. The Blue Book Value of your conversion van also depends on factors like the vehicle’s age, mileage, and overall condition. However the Kelley Blue Book is not great at factoring in additional equipment installed by third parties. So whether you own a handicap accessible van or a passenger conversion van, the book value is only one data point in finding the true market value, which conversion vans do tend to hold relatively well.

Is Kelley Blue Book Always Accurate?
