Three words: Bait...and...screw. 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.

KBB Insta Cash Offer - UNLESS YOU ARE DESPERATE All KBB does for a Insta Cash Offer is lower the value of the car to a price that is extremely attractive to dealers. It’s the “I am desperate” price. Adding insult to this, you have to go to the dealer where they find every reason to lower the price further. Stay far away from this scam. If you can find a family member, friend or just anyone you remotely know sell the vehicle to them at a great price (but higher than KBB Insta Cash Offer) you will feel good about it.

KBB Instant Cash - Worked for us Turned in a honest KBB cash back evaluation on our 2009 Ford Escape. Went to the dealer not expecting positive results. A 20 minute evaluation was done by the manager who came back and asked if we are willing to accept the KBB Instant Cash Offer. We came back in the evening when we were both available to sign over the title. A different manager took care of us and we were in and out in a short time period. The check was mailed to us and arrived 3 days later. Cochran VW and Infiniti in Wexford, PA was up front, attentive and professional. The experience was beyond expectations.

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

Had to give a star... I think it takes away the legitimacy of the KBB Valuation The process and choice to use KBB came with expectations. Top of list -Professional Accurate Valuation of my vehicle. The calls came in 2x-3x daily, finally answered and went to dealership. Unprofessional people that want to steal your car. 100% abuse of a system. I tried to educate the people in that fact that I WAS NOT born yesterday. I would say it is as aggravating as placing your car for sale in marketplace.
