2016 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards Event #KBBBestBuy #ConnectKBB AD

I can’t tell everyone fast enough how excited I am to attend the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards (KBBBestBuy) event in California.  I grew up with a father that loved to shop and buy vehicles.  In fact, I personally don’t know too many people besides my father that have the same kind of passion that he has for shopping, comparing, driving, and buying vehicles.  Fortunately my father passed that compassion down to me.

I love to get on KBB.com and find new/used vehicles, compare vehicle values, look up the current value of my own vehicles, and even use KBB to find a vehicle to purchase.  KBB.com has always been my first choice for looking up the value of any vehicle because it is more user friendly, and in my opinion more accurate than other websites that attempt to do the same.

I often use specific features that interest me the most on KBB.com which includes:  (Price Your Next Car) – This allows me to view what I should be paying for a vehicle that I’m interested in, as opposed to what I might end up paying without this knowledge.  (Latest Videos) – A list of type of vehicle: sedan, crossover, pickup, etc., that provides video footage of features and specs of different models.  (Vehicle Option selector) – This allows you to select specific options when shopping or choosing the vehicle that you are looking at or for; most other websites do not have the options selector and if they do, then they don’t have near the amount of options provided to select from like KBB.com does.  These are just a handful of what KBB.com has to offer.

I would suggest that anyone who is looking for a new or used vehicle, DON’T, unless you have looked up that vehicle first using KBB.com.  You will love your buying experience that much more when you prepare yourself, and this is by far the best preparation anyone can and should use.

Here is a video to give you an idea of what Kelley Blue Book offers:
