What is the best resource to find out what a reasonable price on a used car is?
I'm currently leasing a car, and the lease is up in May 2021. I want to buy a used Toyota, but I really don't know much about what's a good deal regarding car prices. What are the best resources to find this out?

I like Kelley Blue Book- it has been an industry standard for decades.

When you look for the value of the car you are looking at, be scrupulous in its condition- don't be taken in by a shiny finish- look for scratches and cloudy headlights. Another thing to do is to run the price Kelley's gives you by your bank if you are financing this purchase- if they feel it is more money than it's worth, it probably is. Consider what kind of warranty you can get if buying from a dealership; a private seller is more apt to not disclose problems, and once you shake his hand, the deal's done.
Good luck- a new-to-you car is always great.
