I went to 5 different dealers when I was shopping for a new hybrid for my wife last month. At the time, I found my Prius to be worth $13420 from the black book in average condition and mileage. The bluebook returned with $12000-13000 with the same thing. (They almost never give you excellent condition). In all five cases, they came to me with the actual printout from the bluebook website. I basically walked out on all of them as I wanted $14K.
When I bought my Z three years ago, the blackbook was $1-2K less than the bluebook. And they never showed me anything from the bluebook.
