The only values that hold any real water are the ones listed in the Black Book -- those are auction prices, and they are referenced by government agencies in determining the "real" value of things.
Likewise on insurance claims.
Also, note that trade-in values are always awful relative to private party sales. Unless there's no way to do the deal without a trade-in (e.g., not enough cash on hand for a down payment), you are always better off selling the car privately.
