Service is reducing trade-in prices Service is reducing trade-in prices. It used to be that consumers trusted KBB to help them determine the fair trade or resale value of a car. Now, what KBB does is provide obscenely low cash offers AND broadcast those obscenely low offers to every dealership in your local area. As a result, you not only get spammed by every dealership, you also lose out on fair offers for your car because ALL of these dealers know that KBB sent you with an obscenely undervalued offer, so they can offer you one or two thousand above that - or even less than the KBB offer - and appear "generous" when, in fact the trade-in value of your car was much higher. Reported this to the FTC. In my case, every other "Book Value" service valued my car at several thousand dollars more than KBB. I also checked around on the used car prices and private seller sales prices of the same model car - again several thousand higher than KBB.

Scam 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.

I would not listen to what kbb values… I would not listen to what kbb values your car at. They low ball the crap out of you. I bought my car for 49000 dollars. This car is immaculate with low miles. These dirtbags gave me a value of 9800. Without seeing the car at all. I take it to car max and guess what it’s worth 14978. No wonder the car market is like it is. These people lowball everyone. BY PASS THESE RIP OFF ARTIST!!!!

Kbb is deceitful.… Kbb gives you a estimate for vehicle and does not honor it. They just want you to go to dealership and then they will lower bid even more. Below is text from meetings with Stepan Wade in Saint george dealerships. Dan great working with you yesterday. Very disappointed with your Dodge boss not honoring his offer. Tell that boss to take marketing lessons and maybe learn to interact with customers. His estimate was supposed to be good for 7 days per kbb and would not honor it 30 minutes later

Pretty unhappy that I can no longer get… Pretty unhappy that I can no longer get the value of my used car....JUST FOR ME. The idea that I want to be solicited with offers is INCREDIBLY invasive. Do not FORCE me to receive solicitations. This practice completely devalues your site. I also want to point out that after completing a review on their site....I COULDN'T POST it. I guess my low star rating was something they didn't want to be seen. REALLY disappointing. It makes me no longer trust their valuations...clearly they sold out for ads and leads.
