KBB 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.

You won't get what KBB promises - a ripoff! Their fine print says: "the Offer amount may be decreased. Kelley Blue Book and its affiliates are not responsible for Offer adjustments or if a Participating Dealer won't accept your vehicle. Dealers pay a fee to participate in the Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer program." Fact: when I arrived at the dealer, without even seeing the car, the first thing he said was that his actual price would be substantially lower! And he was right! It was about 25% lower than the KBB promise!

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

Would give zero stars if I could Would give zero stars if I could. There are no legitimate offers just instant harassment from local dealerships via text and email. Weeks later I am still being contacted after telling them to leave me alone. Never even got a specific price.

KBB customers are the most uneducated… KBB customers are the most uneducated people ever. Stop complaining about the calls that you are getting from dealers when YOU provided the phone number. Excuses like "I did not know that they will send my information to multiple dealers" are plain stupid especially when there are multiple places on the KBB offer that states that you WILL be contacted by dealers, including in the Terms and conditions at the end that KBB REQUIRES to click on to make sure that you read them! Also DO NOT mark your car as perfect when it is not! 99% of the complaining customers here misrepresented their cars drastically and love to complain when the dealers find out their lies and shenanigans. Play stupid games win stupid prices....
