GBKBB Vehicle Valuation Request -- DON'T BOTHER! On August 8th, I began helping a friend who needed to buy a new car and sell her old one (mechanic said he wouldn't advise fixing it anymore). We completed a request for Kelly Blue Book to value the current car so she could get an idea, for budgeting purposes, of what to expect in terms of sale price/trade in value. Just received the KBB response today -- September 10th -- after my friend's been driving her new car for over a week! If it takes 32 days for KBB to provide a valuation, why bother? In today's car market, you have to move quickly or new car options are snapped up and you must then wait weeks for another shipment to arrive, often from overseas. KBB was a major disappointment.

GBComplete scam Complete scam. Went to 4 different dealers who started contacting me after completing a KBB ICO. Each dealer printed me off a sheet FROM KBB with different numbers for my car in "good" condition and each sheet added an arbitrary amount for the options and mileage adjustment. This whole thing is a big joke. Go to CarMax where at least they don't lie to you.

GBBait-and-switch scam - don't be fooled They gave me an instant price quote online, and when I visited 2 local dealers both of them reduced the price by about 10% even though they both agreed with the condition and all criteria I entered online. The first one added a $1000 "certification fee" and the second one just said they adjusted it because of "the economy". I had gotten the price quote 3 hours earlier. This is a complete BAIT-AND-SWITCH - save your time and don't use it.

GBThe book values are completely out of… The book values are completely out of sync. Seems like it’s being manipulated to help banks and insurance companies from having to pay for actual daily market values. I’d like to go to this magical KBB car lot and buy cars at the prices they value them at.

GBScam website they price vehicles… 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.
