Financing -NADA Book Value Questions (NADA comes up short)

[deminimis]

Howdy,
Hope this is the correct spot for this one. My credit union uses NADA to determine just how much they will loan on a vehicle (they loan 100% of high value). Using NADA just doesn't seem to add up. First, did the Sportmobile listings under conversion vans (does not include the actual chassis), then I add the value for the van (chassis) itself. The section for Quigly doesn't help as its basically a repeat of the Sportsmobile options/section. So, roughly, my numbers barely make it into the $20-$30k range for a '02-ish EB50 Diesel 4x4 . Probably ok as shooting for only financing about $20 of an eventual purchase, but would like to have some buffer room too. Any NADA masters out there that can direct me to a better way to get NADA values to more accurately represent 4x4 E-350 Sportsmobile values? NADA is what they use, so I'm stuck with NADA. Thanks.

This seems to be the way it is. These vans re-sale for much more than what a blue book or NADA says. This is very bad if you total out your vehicle. It's a fight to get what it's worth, at least what we all think there worth. Good luck.
