Kelley Blue Book Anmeldelser 

Idk when the last time kbb has went truck shopping, but loan companies don't want to give loans based off kbb!! Need to do some homework on truck shopping from dealers and individuals, kbb price value is way way way off compared to the sellers market at this time.

They give out your personal information with complete disregard for any human decency. If anyone running the company reads this I want to deliver a personal “F you” to your trash ass.

I think you should allow ad blockers and deal with people getting around ads or else I will call KBB support!

I completed all the information for the Instant Cash Offer. This included mileage, condition of the car, appearance, mechanical issues and so on. This was for an 18 year old luxury car with over 200000 miles and not working AC. Everything else is working just fine. KBB site indicated that the offer cannot be presented to me without additional assessment of the car. OK, fair enough for an old car. Quite quickly I was contacted by dealers who expressed interest in my car. I made an appointment with one of them, drove 20 miles one way to the dealership and somebody from the dealership assessed the car by looking at it and driving it around the lot. Then I was told that they would not be able to offer anything. I contacted the other dealer who expressed interest and this time, after few hours, I received a message that my car "came back as ineligible for an offer". OK, it is an old car, but my question is if anyone actually read the information provided by me to KBB before contacting me. I am OK learning that my car is not a candidate for re-sale, but I am disappointed that I needed to waste time and money for no reason as, quite obviously, the information that I provided to KBB was sufficient for the dealers and they could have told me right away that they were not interested. The only positive is that I got one more, albeit short road trip in my old car that served me so well for over 18 years. BTW - I had no problems whatsoever to sell my car on the same day when the dealers "rejected" it.

A big joke I don't know if it's rigged to trick people but I have a 2016 f350 Lariat 6.7 powerstroke diesel with low miles go to online sites dealers are selling trucks with my trim and miles for 54,000 dollars what did kbb offer me? 33,000!! LOL!

I have been a fan of KBB my entire life and used KBB often for vehicle valuation. KBB has always been an accurate, credible and professional source. But this "Instant Cash Offer" is a complete time wasting Scam to get you to the dealer and does not reflect the ridiculous offer the dealer plans to present.

It's unfortunate that the trusted name and reputation of Kelley Blue Book has been tarnished in my eyes due to a bad experience I had attempting to use the Instant Cash Offer service to try to sell my car. I understood that I would NOT be dealing with Kelley Blue Book to attempt to sell my car for instant cash. It is a service offered to car dealers and car buying companies who pay KBB to attract your business. The initial offer you are shown on the site after filling out the required info is a starting point to draw you to a dealer. I read the fine print and disclaimers associated with using the service, but I never expected KBB's nonchalant attitude after my complaint about a local car dealership I was directed to using the service. The dealership experience I had lived up to the stereotype of dealing with sleazy car salesmen. They were dishonest and I felt scammed. They used the disclaimer of the fine print reserving their right to justify reducing the original offer price more than $1000 from the KBB offer generated. AND, if I accepted the dealers low balled offer, the procedure was that I sign over my vehicle and leave my vehicle with them and have to wait 10 days to two weeks for payment. Their deceptive practice had me going to the dealership twice before all this information was disclosed. Each time I returned, they found "so called" things wrong with my car to justify reducing their offer. Totally uncalled for during a pandemic where you had to wait in the dealership, dealing with multiple people. There are plenty of companies out there that truly offer instant cash for cars. Fortunately, I found a company online that actually paid me instantly for my car. It was a totally contact-less transaction, everyone I dealt with acted professionally, AND I received a check in hand, as my car was towed from my driveway, paying me very close to the original KBB offer. Shame on you KBB for providing a deceitful service leading clients to deal with deceitful car dealerships and car buying companies who pay you.

tried to use the kbb instant cash program. there is nothing instant about it and there is no cash. it is a scam. dealers wanted me to bring the title, keys and vehicle and wait for weeks to get paid, even though the car is paid off and clear title in hand. this is bs.

I have a two year old Toyota Sequoia, Totally loaded. KBB printed out $42,763.00 based on actual information. Dealer tried to offer $34,915.00 and entered it in KBB so 2nd dealer will be worthless. Does Fraud, misrepresentation and "bait and switch" come to mind. I highly recommend to never trust this service.

I recently entered in my info to see what Kelley blue book was going to offer me for my car as I was hoping to sell it (I ended up selling to CarMax). However, after I entered my information on their website they handed my info (home address and cell phone number) out on some list to endless dealerships and now I am getting barraged with phone calls every single day asking about my car if its still for sale and if I can bring it into their dealership. What an invasion of privacy and who knows who these people actually are.... They all leave voice mails or speak to me on the phone and parrot the same line of "we are partners with KBB and receive information on customers who want to sell their vehicle..." They will openly sell your info do not check your car's value here, look up at Carmax or go into a local dealership instead of this website.

I went to my audi dealer in early 2019 for a quote on a used Audi and ask them why there quote on my earlier Audi that I had was so low compared to its actual value because the cars online we're going for 3 to 4000 more then the trade-in or instant cash offer that Kelley blue book was offering for my Audi and my Audi dealer told me that it was a huge scam that kelley blue book has been doing for years and through there commission that they make they have paid reviews that they pay for yearly from each car dealer in sums of thousands of people from each company and manufacturer of cars. A year later I went to my Ford dealer and had brought up my friend who works at the Audi dealership in the nearby town who I've been doing business with both of them for years and brought up the point that the Audi dealer made and I didn't even get through the sentence when he cut me off erupting, absolutely!! He is telling the truth every single word of it is the downright cold hard truth. Kelley blue book has been a scam since day one. Saying, how could you trust a car evaluation and appraisal company that takes offers of instant Cash and trade-ins that are thousands of dollars lower? and obviously a huge chunk and percentage off the actual price of the vehicle and what it's worth. Just two sell it to the dealer with a foregoing commission with hundreds of cars every week. There's been proof that they pay for their reviews it was leaked almost 10 years ago in black and white. But professionals in dealerships have known about this for years before that. People need to get this out in the open so good American citizens in this country are not scammed anymore by this scandalous disgusting company that are no better than greasy auctioneers and middle men. Thank you for taking your time to hear my experience I'm from Western Washington and I went to school out here in a little country town and I worked on a farm as my first job 4 almost 10 years have been falling trees and managing landscaping company and a jewelry business on the side so I've had my hands in just about everything so I'm not in upper scale or lower scale person I'm just a American citizen who knows when is scam shouldn't be going on any more and I'd like to see it stop enough is enough screw Kelley blue book it's obvious they're doing this you have to be pretty blind to not see it and I'm putting it out there it's a dying company sincerely DW May the wind fill your sails and the sun on your face have a great day!

Used KBB for a cash offer. They priced well, but dealer was $6,000 lower. What a joke - car is worth $30,000 on dealer lot, but only $20,000 to me?! Ha! Nice try at a rip-off

KBB is a bunch of B.S. They're just out there to make money. If you’re wondering why used cars in Europe are much cheaper than in the U.S. it’s because they don’t have such a thing. This is why used car prices are bloated for example a used 2008 corolla with 135,000 miles and a bad alternator is “worth” 4,000 to 4,500 according to KBB, I wouldn’t pay over $2,000 for a car like that.

Just like other reviewers, KBB estimated the value of my vehicle to be $7,000 below actual market value both with their standard tool and the Instant Cash Value tool where I entered my VIN and other specific points of info.
KBB valued my vehicle at $24,000. I sold it a week later to a DEALER, not private buyer, for $31,100.
I can't imagine the amount of people who get scammed out of the cash they are entitled to by using KBB. Should be illegal honestly. Complete scam.
Talk to actual buyers. Most of them will give you at least a ballpark value over the phone or a "max" value for your vehicle in perfect condition, and you can reasonably reduce the value with your own estimates if you have dings, mechanical or cosmetic issues, need tires, etc.
Bottom line, don't use KBB.

Kelly Blue Book is garbage. They say a value for you to sell it, and the value from a second hand lot (that doesn't do SH!T) is 3-4 times higher!!! You can sell it higher! FU€K KBB!!!!

KBB SUCKS - ESTIMATED VALUE IS NEVER CLOSE I WORK AT A DEALERSHIP SO I KNOW FOR FACT AND ALSO YOU CANNOT SCROLL ON THEIR RETARTED WEBSITE

Don't waste your time. I had a very clean car in very good condition using KBB's definition. I did get offers, but they were far below what I could ultimately get as a trade-in. KBB's cash offer service is free, thus the old adage "you get what you pay for" is proven true once again. I realize that KBB works on behalf of the auto industry, with the retail buyer being the afterthought, at least that was how it felt. Anyway, I won't be using KBB cash offer service again.

One of the most scam inc in America. Don't take my words do your own homework especially before buying a used or new vehicle.. Example Kelly Blue Book will informed you that a 2008 MDX will cost at least $7,000 to $9000 when you'll see some newer model like 2009 - 2012 cost about the same? Lmfao.. Try to buy 2001 or 2002 MDX and I bet the price will be at least $3,000 to 4,500?? Take a minute let that sink in guys.......

KBB gave me an instant cash off (obviously contingent upon inspection). I notated EVERY DETAIL down. Drove a 4 hour round trip to be told $1000 less than kelley blue book value because of lies. When I went to my email Once I got home, the inspector BOLD face lied about what he saw, and I guess hoped I wouldn’t see his lies? Lied about stains and scratches and VASTLY over rated the ONE scratch that is actually there. Not even a scratch, it Two places smaller than peas right next to each other from another car backing into me. That is a SCUFF in all honesty. No metal is shown. He put major damage to that area. The other parts of the review were completely made up. There’s a big difference in needs a shampoo and stains. There was ONE spot on my seat that was also smaller than a pea. Not a stain. It came out. And the fabric on the handle was slightly dingy from hands touching it. Not stained. I asked before I came if these ppl were intelligent enough to know the difference or if I needed to wash and shampoo the car. Clearly when I was told they were, they lied. Again. I called before I came and they told me (Jonathan at ford of dalton in Georgia) that they give OVER kelley blue book Offers. Anyways, the reason for the review is the fact that when using this system there is nothing holding anyone accountable for the deal that had been made or lies that had been told. For wasting my time. My husbands ONE off day. $30 in gas. Nothing. This site can say whatever to get you in a dealership because the dealers pay kelley blue book a fee. The dealership told me this. The goal is to get you in there and hopefully you trade and they win or they lie to you and you’re stupid and they win. This site offers zero protection and is NOT in our best interest. This is solely for KBB to make money off the fee, not be held liable, knowing the car places will stick it to you. And solely for the dealerships because they get the traffic from the unenforceable offers from KBB sends them. I won’t use this site EVER again and I encourage you all to assume and plan for shady lying thriving car salesmen. I’ll use NADA or black book from now on.

I wanted to know the approximate price range for my 2006 Rav4, 120,000 miles. So I went to the KBB site, answered all the detailed questions, went outside to write down the VIN and license plate number and guess what -- no answer to what my car is worth. Just a listing of all the dealers who would like to sell me a new Rav4. Three of them have already emailed me that they'd like to do business with me in the selling of my car.

I don't want to buy a car; the RAV4 is now excess to my family's needs and I want to sell it.

Kelley Blue Book didn't help at all. I went to the effort of filling out their questionnaire and got nothing for it!

I feel that I've been had!
