The dealers use KBB because it's generally lower for any given car.

Edmunds is more accurate... it's what every dealer I know (anywhere in the country) uses to price their own cars...

KBB value might be what they quote you... but Edmunds' value is what your car is worth...
Dealers in California may use KBB, but most of the country uses NADA. Even then its important to remember that these are only guides, not absolutes. That's why you can go to KBB, NADA, Edmunds etc and get figures on the same car that are thousands of dollars apart. When it comes right down to it those guides are in no danger of every paying a penny for your car so they can say whatever they want.

That's why what really determines used car wholesale values is what similar cars are going for at auction that week. To heck with the guides.

My experience BTW is that KBB is the most accurate and Edmunds is usually totally out to lunch.

In my experience, KBB used to be the most accurate. Edmunds' defacto quotes are usually off base... but the detailed custom quotes available at Edmunds are the most accurate to real market value (either in terms of outright sale or trade in).

If I were you I'd be putting that car oi the paper, on Autotrader, or on the DSM trader. There are a lot of people looking for a low mileage DSM. You've got a couple of months before the EVO comes out, at least try to retail out of it.
