Great, another "Value Tool" to really muck up the water's. In my humble opinion, another great reason not to put too much stock in doing business with the mega corp's. But then again, that's just my opinion
I want to play devils advocate here.... (and I may or may not agree with what I post...lol)
This feature is a closing tool and really hurts nobody smart enough to use it that way...
Lets say it says a vehicle is worth $350.00 less than book value.
How does that hurt you at all?
Unless you own the vehicle for way too much $$$ it is not going to hurt to sell the vehicle for $350 under a book value that does not even exist.
I think this was implemented as a closing tool to get people into a buying mindset and out of a shopping mindset. It assures them it is a safe bet and a good deal to purchase that vehicle for $x.xx +/- "book value".

A carfax with a -$50 value just helped me close a deal today.
Who cares where they get the value from, they let you use whatever book value you want.
