Like everyone else says it was a scam. I got an offer of 21,500 which was 1500 higher than anything else. I decided to do my diligence. Printed my useless "kbb certificate" drove to kia of Englewood for 25 minutes. Sat for 15 minutes waiting for their manager to evaluate my car. Got an offer of 17,000 and left. Sold my car for 20,600 to gmtv one week later. In this market just avoid dealers they only make money if they steal the car from a seller.

KBB's "cash offer" will generally be higher than Carvana's. The difference? Carvana will actually PAY YOU CASH for your car. With KBB, you have to take your car to the dealership... and negotiate. (It would be interesting to see if ANY KBB deal is ever actually completed with that value.) Wanna bet they will find enough "imperfections" on your trade-in to reduce their "instant" offer to at or below Carvana's? DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH KBB's INSTANT-CASH NONSENSE. It should actually be illegal.

Kelly blue book has joined the ranks of bad businesses. I've had the displeasure of going through the motions of getting an offer for 5400 for my vehicle. It clearly is worth more than the offer. I made an appointment with a well known car dealer that accepts kbb offers. First of all it's a used car dealership with Vultures as you arrive. Vultures disguised as USED CAR SALES humans. It's sickening to the thought of having to look for your particular vulture but it's something that must be done so you must YELL out his name and wait for the loudest cackle. Well from that cackle you'll still have to contend with the minimum of three cacklers clawing in your direction. Yell this name again ! The other two stopped and turned around as the last cackler continues to size you up 10 yards before it introduces itself as the lucky vulture.I play no games with cacklers so I tell it my final price. It invites me to an office where it looks for such offer. It gets up and goes to another cackler in silent cackle. In turn you'll never guess what approaches; the hand off cackler but with clothes that have been ironed. It comes to say it can only offer 3400. 2000 lower than kbb. The games it wants to begin are stomped out in front of this flock that are assuming they'll each have a go as to which will buy my car at the lowest without getting close to my 1st offer. I said give me my keys please. "Awh now wait a minute , can't we get a better price for you" let me cackle with the third cackler" i stopped his nonsense by exclaiming "GIVE ME MY KEYS NOW!" So, you see , this is typical of what you'll receive from kbb. So I don't give a star but the only way to write a review is if you put a star. Its all a gimmick to begin with. My recommendation is for you to avoid Vultures at all costs by selling to private party and buying from private party. The other way is for the birds.

The site will not allow me to access it without turning off ad-blocking. Sure, send me adds for this one site. But the problem is, I'll be inundated with 56 trackers (from who knows where?). Sites that refuse to work without ad services have zero respect for privacy. They are welcome to dropping purely functional, non-tracking cookies on my device anytime they want. But if they want my patronage to keep their site alive, they'd better pay attention. And you'd better pay attention, too. Wikipedia provides millions of more data to people while staying alive for years without threat of going down. No ads. Just that people know it's a reliable, multi-peer reviewed site for accuracy and provides a service valuable enough for me to make my pledge. Polar opposite approaches from polar opposite broads of directors. Hmm, which would you say is the more greedy of the two? Oh, I forgot to mention, KBB used several methods to fingerprint me, too.

Talk about unscrupulous, Kelley blue book allows dealerships like Autonation Buick in LoneTree Colorado to set their own Kelley blue book values. For example you will put your information in and Your vehicle will be valuedat the Kelley blue book value minus $5000, which is what happened to me. Some dealers just WILL NOT give you trade in value and we should have a list of those dealership to reference so that we know a trade-in is a complete waste of time which happens most of the time. This is just another group of monopolistic companies are towards leasing the consumer in favor of big business. Kelley blue book is not your friend and never has been

Big time waster. KBB Instant Cash Offer listed a few dealerships making offers on my car. Called the first one and of course they said "come on down". Arrived at the dealership and they said sorry we're unable to make you an offer. Wiser now after having wasted my time with the first dealer, I called the second dealership to grill them before coming out. They also decided they were not interested-which saved me from another wasted trip. A third dealer admitted that he would only honor the KBB Instant Cash Offer if the car was in "mint" condition. As best I can decipher, the KBB Instant Cash Offers were too high for them to make a profit from.

I should have read these reviews before I used this SCAM program. Filled in the appropriate info about my truck on the dealer web site. Got an offer for my vehicle. It was reasonable. Visited the dealer and they said they couldn't give me the KBB price but hit me with a low ball number. Ganley Toyota, Akron, Ohio. I would advise you avoid KBB and this dealer. THIS PROGRAM IS A SCAM.
