Unhappy mysterious identity....

I was curious to know if anyone was a Mazda buff? I have a 97 B3000 4x4 Special Edition that I'm currently wanting to trade, however, Kelley Blue Book doesn't even have a listing for a 97. They have 96 and then it skips to 98. Then I used google and I can't even find a 97 B3000. I then called Mazda and they seemed to be confused cause they just look up the price in the KBB and of course, it wasn't listed. All the info on my truck says that it's a 97 B3000. The emblems, paperwork, and then it says Special Edition on the side of the pickup. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I would just average the 96 & 98 values.

Check the VIN to make sure it really is a '97, etc. Otherwise, do what Ken says.

Another way might be to figure out how much a similarly equipped 1997 Ranger is valued at, and then adjust accordingly.

You can get an idea of how to make the proper adjustment by comparing the Ranger and the B3000 for the '96 and '98 years.

Talking Just Found Out

Well... I just found out that the pickup is a "special edition" and there were only 500 made mid-year so..... I'm gonna have to make that clear when I try to sell it/or trade it in. If ya'll know of anyone that might want a rare B3000, please let me know. I appreciate all your replies. It's nice to know that others care about one's concerns.
