Kelley Blue BookReviews of kbb.com

I went to my audi dealer in early 2019 for a quote on a used Audi and ask them why there quote on my earlier Audi that I had was so low compared to its actual value because the cars online we're going for 3 to 4000 more then the trade-in or instant cash offer that Kelley blue book was offering for my Audi and my Audi dealer told me that it was a huge scam that kelley blue book has been doing for years and through there commission that they make they have paid reviews that they pay for yearly from each car dealer in sums of thousands of people from each company and manufacturer of cars. A year later I went to my Ford dealer and had brought up my friend who works at the Audi dealership in the nearby town who I've been doing business with both of them for years and brought up the point that the Audi dealer made and I didn't even get through the sentence when he cut me off erupting, absolutely!! He is telling the truth every single word of it is the downright cold hard truth. Kelley blue book has been a scam since day one. Saying, how could you trust a car evaluation and appraisal company that takes offers of instant Cash and trade-ins that are thousands of dollars lower? and obviously a huge chunk and percentage off the actual price of the vehicle and what it's worth. Just two sell it to the dealer with a foregoing commission with hundreds of cars every week. There's been proof that they pay for their reviews it was leaked almost 10 years ago in black and white. But professionals in dealerships have known about this for years before that. People need to get this out in the open so good American citizens in this country are not scammed anymore by this scandalous disgusting company that are no better than greasy auctioneers and middle men. Thank you for taking your time to hear my experience I'm from Western Washington and I went to school out here in a little country town and I worked on a farm as my first job 4 almost 10 years have been falling trees and managing landscaping company and a jewelry business on the side so I've had my hands in just about everything so I'm not in upper scale or lower scale person I'm just a American citizen who knows when is scam shouldn't be going on any more and I'd like to see it stop enough is enough screw Kelley blue book it's obvious they're doing this you have to be pretty blind to not see it and I'm putting it out there it's a dying company sincerely DW May the wind fill your sails and the sun on your face have a great day!

Used KBB for a cash offer. They priced well, but dealer was $6,000 lower. What a joke - car is worth $30,000 on dealer lot, but only $20,000 to me?! Ha! Nice try at a rip-off

KBB is a bunch of B.S. They're just out there to make money. If you’re wondering why used cars in Europe are much cheaper than in the U.S. it’s because they don’t have such a thing. This is why used car prices are bloated for example a used 2008 corolla with 135,000 miles and a bad alternator is “worth” 4,000 to 4,500 according to KBB, I wouldn’t pay over $2,000 for a car like that.

Just like other reviewers, KBB estimated the value of my vehicle to be $7,000 below actual market value both with their standard tool and the Instant Cash Value tool where I entered my VIN and other specific points of info. KBB valued my vehicle at $24,000. I sold it a week later to a DEALER, not private buyer, for $31,100. I can't imagine the amount of people who get scammed out of the cash they are entitled to by using KBB. Should be illegal honestly. Complete scam. Talk to actual buyers. Most of them will give you at least a ballpark value over the phone or a "max" value for your vehicle in perfect condition, and you can reasonably reduce the value with your own estimates if you have dings, mechanical or cosmetic issues, need tires, etc. Bottom line, don't use KBB.

Kelly Blue Book is garbage. They say a value for you to sell it, and the value from a second hand lot (that doesn't do SH!T) is 3-4 times higher!!! You can sell it higher! FU€K KBB!!!!

KBB SUCKS - ESTIMATED VALUE IS NEVER CLOSE I WORK AT A DEALERSHIP SO I KNOW FOR FACT AND ALSO YOU CANNOT SCROLL ON THEIR RETARTED WEBSITE

Don't waste your time. I had a very clean car in very good condition using KBB's definition. I did get offers, but they were far below what I could ultimately get as a trade-in. KBB's cash offer service is free, thus the old adage "you get what you pay for" is proven true once again. I realize that KBB works on behalf of the auto industry, with the retail buyer being the afterthought, at least that was how it felt. Anyway, I won't be using KBB cash offer service again.

One of the most scam inc in America. Don't take my words do your own homework especially before buying a used or new vehicle.. Example Kelly Blue Book will informed you that a 2008 MDX will cost at least $7,000 to $9000 when you'll see some newer model like 2009 - 2012 cost about the same? Lmfao.. Try to buy 2001 or 2002 MDX and I bet the price will be at least $3,000 to 4,500?? Take a minute let that sink in guys.......
