     NADA has an edition for each of nine regions in the USA.  I'm not sure 
     about the logic behind some of the regions though.  Here in New 
     Mexico, we are covered in the Mountain States Edition (with Colorado, 
     Montana and Wyoming). When I lived in Utah, we were in the Pacific 
     Northwest Region (Washington, Oregon, etc.)  Also, the normal used car 
     guide only goes back seven years, but the Older Used Car Guide goes 
     back another ten years.  I like the resources on the web like 
     www.kbb.com and Edmunds, but some of the values seem pretty 
     optimistic.
