The Internet has been touted as the greatest resource for the used car buyer. Prospective buyers can find trade-in, private party, and retail values in a heartbeat. The question to consider, however, is what Internet source is right? The three major sites: NADA, Edmunds, and Kelly Blue Book are clamoring to be the Trusted Authority on used car values. Yet price discrepancies are frequently in the $1000s from site to site. Which web site, if any, is the most accurate source for the used car buyer?
To illustrate the discrepancies, heres an everyday example: NADA may retail a 2003 SAAB 9-5 Linear at $15,996, Kelly Blue Book prices it at $17,456, and Edmunds prices it at $14,800. These are all retail values, assuming excellent or clean condition. $17,456 minus $14,800 is a $2,656 difference. Thats a huge price difference in the highly competitive used car market.

Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) – The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver and primary kick returner Tab Perry on injured reserve Tuesday, effectively ending his season after just two games played.
Perry continues to be hampered by a hip injury that also ended his 2006 season. That, coupled with a nagging hamstring problem that has kept him sidelined since Week 2, forced the Bengals to cut his season short. The UCLA product set single-season club records in 2005 with 64 kick returns for 1,562 yards.

Cleveland batted for 35 minutes in the 5th inning, lighting up the scoreboard in a 7 run explosion after Boston’s Tim Wakefield and Cleveland’s Paul Byrd had dueled tossing shutout ball at each other for the first 4 innings.
Boston then responded by leading off the 6th inning with back-to-back-to-back solo homers by 1st baseman Kevin Youkilis, dh David Ortiz and leftfielder Manny Ramirez, the first two off of Byrd and the third off of rookie reliever Jensen Lewis. But that was all the offense the Red Sox could muster for the game as Cleveland won by a 7-3 score to take a commanding 3 games to 1 lead in the ALCS.
