Kelley Blue BookReviews of kbb.com

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.

Was given my Instant Cash Offer for my 11 month old GMC truck of $42,027 by KBB through Mathews Honda, the local participating dealers website. I returned the dealers call and was told I’d be contacted. I was, and the dealer, without inspecting it, offered $35,000. This is simply a paid for by the dealer scam to get you in a dealership, and get your contact info on the dealers call lists. I’ll be selling to Carvana instead.

Received an “instant cash offer” from Kelly blue book of 26084 for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited. After a few text and phone calls from the recommended dealership to visit from a dealer named Jimmy of Arizona CDJR Show Low. I met with one dealer who performed the appraisal then the second dealer “Jimmy” who I originally made contact with. Was asked what I wanted for the Jeep, I said the KBB value of 26084 to payoff my loan with the lender of 23643.00. I was offered 25,092 on paper originally due to the age of Jeep and odometer reading 84106, l decided to settle for that amount. After some back and forth with their manager and service manager behind closed doors the first dealer who took the appraisal came out and offered me 22000.00?? Because of some work that needed to be done underneath the Jeep according to their service manager! No verification, no list of fix it’s to be done, given to me on paper which brought down the value even more. And I had to pay the rest of the payoff to my lender!! Needless to say I was not a happy camper to put it lightly, thanks but no thanks! I’m not that desperate CDJR ShowLow dealership!

KBB provides what appears to be a useful service. However, it isn't. I went online to get an "instant cash offer" for my 2020 Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury sedan. PROS: 1. The instant cash offer arrives in approximately 3 minutes. 2. Dealers will almost immediately contact you via email and phone to schedule you taking your car into get it appraised. CONS: 1. Cash offer is a gimmick to get you to walk back into a dealership. In this case, my car is approximately 20 months old. It has 17500 miles and is garage kept. No accidents, dents, dings, or cracks? I went straight down the window sticker when inputting data in KBB. Offer came in at $44,196. I went to Turan Foley at the designated time, waited about an hour for numerous people to, you know, review the car, and then they made me an offer of $41,000. Apparently, your KBB instant Cash Offer, is not an actual offer at all, even when your vehicle is exactly as described. This partnership is simply a scam! Don't waste your time.
