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.

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.

Wish I could rate this a zero Star Wish I could rate this a zero Star - what a scam - KBB instant cash offer was $9,015 - the Hyundai dealer in Bend Oregon offered me $7,000. I ask why the big difference - they said it was a rear wheel drive not an all-wheel drive - well duh, that's what it said on the Autotrader KBB instant offer! I asked if there was anything different about the car than was represented on the KBB offer - they said no...what a shady operation - can't believe I wasted an hour at that dealership and with the KBB instant offer - this is a SCAM

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.

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.
