Kelley Blue Book Reviews 253

Scam website they price vehicles extremely low so when you want to trade your vehicle at a dealership they use Kelly blue book to value it but when you buy a truck from a dealership its 10 times higher then what Kelly blue book prices. The only reason it exists is so that dealerships can scam you out of what your truck is actually worth.

I received an instant cash offer from kbb. Three days later the dealer wouldn't honor it. Kbb sent me a new email saying my vehicle wasn't eligible for an instant cash offer. What the hell happened to the offer I received. Now I don't have bargaining power. Thanks for nothing kbb. Not an honorable company

I just bought a car from a dealership yes car was used when I purchased it. That being said I paid 3k for this car kbb insists this car is only worth 260.00 wth I don't think so if I paid 3k 2 months ago for this car it did not decrease the value of the car in 2 months. Yall need to stop low balling people on the value of a car.

What a waste of time. I took the offer to one of the listed dealers and after waiting for 45 minutes while they inspected it, they came back and told me that they wouldn't honor the KBB offer because they didn't agree with it. They thought it was too high and offered me $5K less. The KBB instant cash offer is meaningless.

I wanted to sell my truck so I used KBB to get a cash value. I used a rating lower than I estimated and KBB said it was worth about $24,000 and that they had dealers willing to buy my truck. Most responses were only willing to trade, however a Ram dealer in Sanford, FL, about an hour away assured me they could give me the KBB value. I drove the hour, the dealership pulled the bait-and-switch by passing me off to one of the rudest people I have ever met and one of his cohorts. Even though the only thing they seemed to come up with was a couple rust spots on my running board (none anywhere else), which prompted them to say it was in "rough" condition. I have posted pictures online to show that is not the case. They offered almost $8,000 below KBB.
I had hoped this service would be legitimate but it's obviously a scam and merely an effort to bring in a customer. Beware!

Used to be KKB provided customer info on their car, or value on one considering. Now you are sent to number of bailouts confusing companies and no actual value figure. I’m disappointed.

Kbb used car value is used for bait and switches. Contacted dealer because of kbb trade in value. Filled info in saying good condition. Dealer offers $6k less than kbb said. Claims KBB is only for perfect condition cars. Advised we said good not perfect. His response, too bad. A complete waste of time.

KBB has entered into contracts with dealerships giving a gaurantee that if the dealership does not want the vehicle , KBB will buy it from them . Thus , in an effort to protect themselves , the valuations they provide are much lower than the actual worth of the vehicles . In turn , a once trusted source of valuation ,KBB has become untrustworthy in the eyes of consumers , who initially believe they may be on a level playing field with dealerships , since KBB is doing the valuation , but are not aware that dealerships do not use KBB for valuations other than those contracted for with KBB.

Total scam. KBB gave me an "Instant Cash Offer" to be redeemed at a list of car dealerships. I made an appointment for the next morning. Without even seeing the car, within the first 30 seconds of arrival, the woman told me her manager said the offer is to high.

Ripoff.
Kelly Blue Book says my Freightliner Sprinter van as optioned is worth 37k, the cheapest one online anywhere in USA is 60k.

Absolute money-grubbing trash. There aren't enough words or time for me to explain how horribly mismanaged this company is. KBB was the leader in trusted used car valuation and relegated themselves through greed and catastrophically short-sighted mismanagement.

A joke. Quoted me at a price and was offered less than half at two different dealerships. Not worth the effort or trouble.

Instant cash value is a scam. Quoted my 17 Kia forte at $11,500, drove 3.5 hrs round trip to actually be offered less than half that from 2 dealerships they said I could go redeem this offer at.

Want to put zero stars. Sold my car according to kbb value and found out it was worth thousands more. Thousands! Thanks for that kbb. kbb is a joke

Do it. Sell me a truck for the same price you say mine is worth. Do it. Show me one truck for sale in America valued at what you price them at. If anyone goes to a dealer and they mention KBB tell them to shut their mouth.

This is a Huge Scam to only help out Crook Dealers Crook Insurance companies in case you have a total loss car accident, so they will pay you a lot less then the market value itself.
That's all it is.

KBB Value on my 2016 Bimmer $23,310, dealer offered $16k My description was accurate 'nuff said. I will spare you the dealer's shenanigans.

All KBB is is a lead generation site.. you ask the value of your car.. you have to give your zip code and immediately after you have what you believe to be the value of your car you are bombarded with 20-30 phone calls from all car dealers in your area. KBB has sold your information to them. It’s a scam

Worst Site ever I would give it a Zero if possible,
you can never get a price for you existing vehicle
just a worthless website.

KBB used car value of my car is ridiculously low (half of what other sites say it's worth). They must collaborate with used car buying sites to scam people into selling to those sites for half what the car is worth.
