Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was wondering what the general opinion on the relative accuracy of kbb.com? I'm toying with the idea of parting with ...."Phil's" car when it comes out of storage. Hugh
Given the large production numbers of these cars and their relative "newness" I think the KBB/NADA values are faily realistic. That may not be what sellers want to hear, however
x2 on the "average" of the two services to refine a price range.
KBB is usually high. We used it at Carmax to justify our higher than average prices. Dealers use a resource called Black Book.
Best way to price any Porsche is a combination of Edmund's TMZ price, Excellence Magazine valuation guides, and some research on similar cars listed in your region of the country. Porsches get trickier as there are a lot less of them for sale at any given time (even thought there are relatively more 996s, the numbers pale compared to any sedan or SUV).
Lots of dorks here on Rennlist will do the legwork for you if you ask...
In general, KBB is dealer-friendly: high on the sale prices, low on the trade-in. I think NADA is more realistic. I went to a local dealer-only auto auction a few times (as a "driver" for a family friend), and almost all the dealer reps had well-worn NADA guides with them.
True, but the NADA guide the dealers use is not the same guide that an average consumer can access online. Most dealers I know use the NADA guide, the "Black Book" and Manheim vehicle auction results.
It is not an exact science.
