“We are so confident in our values, we want to put them in the hands of the industry at no-cost for 30 days so that they can see for themselves,” said Paul Johnson, president and CEO of Kelley Blue Book.

With Quick Values, users receive instant access to the full range of trusted Kelley Blue Book new- and used-car values, including industry-relevant information not available on kbb.com, such as wholesale lending value and auction value, all updated weekly. Additionally, for used cars, Quick Values provides Kelley Blue Book certified pre-owned, trade-in and suggested retail values, and for new cars, Quick Values offers manufacturer’s suggested retail price, invoice and “fair purchase” price (which reports what others typically are paying for new cars this week). Quantitative adjustments are made for condition, mileage and optional equipment. 

Users can identify a vehicle by its vehicle identification number or year, make and model to obtain relevant, regionalized values for their business. Each valuation report includes every Kelley Blue Book Value available in Quick Values, including Auction Value. The valuation reports are printable and allow users to type in reference numbers or detailed notes for inclusion in the pricing report.
