Bait-and-switch scam - don't be fooled They gave me an instant price quote online, and when I visited 2 local dealers both of them reduced the price by about 10% even though they both agreed with the condition and all criteria I entered online. The first one added a $1000 "certification fee" and the second one just said they adjusted it because of "the economy". I had gotten the price quote 3 hours earlier. This is a complete BAIT-AND-SWITCH - save your time and don't use it.

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.

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.

Can I give Zero stars??? Big hassle, no reality in the online offer Can I give Zero stars? What a complete waste of time. Was immediately contacted by 2 dealers who expressed interest in my car at a higher than instant offer price. Wasted my saturday visiting both and being scammed and lowballed by over 20%, even after being told "the vehicle was better than my description, but they could not sell it at a profit at auction!" What a time waster. Never again

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
