Does anyone know anything about buying a used car? [View all]

I am trying to find a decent used car.

Why is there such a difference between Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds.com?

I need a reliable used car to drive home for Thanksgiving.... about 1,000 miles...but the bank will not honor Kelly Blue Book Price? (Turned down my loan app because Kelly Blue Book was too high)

Yet the sellers on Ebay, etc, will not come down to Edmunds.com price?

I don't want to buy a brand new car from a dealer because of the high payments, and I don't need a brand new car.

Any Suggestions? I tried Car Max... they were not much help.
