How It Works

1. Tell Us About Your Vehicle

You know your vehicle best, and vehicles today can come in a variety of packages and features. For best accuracy start by providing your VIN number (vehicle identification number) or more simply, enter your license plate number and your registering state and click 'Go' to start the process. The VIN will decode automatically so you just have to fill in the blanks.

Kelley Blue Book can decode most VIN numbers from the past 24 model years, and will provider offers on vehicles up to 299,999 miles. So we hope we have yours covered. If not, just give us a call.

2. Give Us The Details

The more you tell Kelley Blue Book, the more accurately we'll be able to ensure a fair value for your vehicle. If you have normal wear and tear, that is expected. Just input where on your vehicle you may need tires, or if it has a few dings and scratches, so we have a heads up. If you have photos of your vehicle, upload those when you reach that step as well.

3. Get Your Offer

Once you've completed all the steps, you'll receive an official offer for your vehicle and will even show you your approximate tax savings if you decided to trade it in. Be sure to create an account and save your trade-in to your profile to see your payments with your trade-in value accounted for. If you have a tricky vehicle and couldn't receive an offer immediately online, just reach out and we'll help you complete the process via phone or text - your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trade-in value?

The trade-in value of a vehicle is the amount a dealership is willing to offer for a customer's existing vehicle when they are looking to purchase a new one.

Fair market value is the estimated price a buyer and seller would agree upon in an open and unrestricted market. It serves as a benchmark for determining a reasonable trade-in value.

Trade-in values are calculated based on various factors — including the make, model, year, condition, mileage, and market demand for your specific vehicle.

Yes, it's possible to trade in a car that isn't fully paid off. The remaining balance on your existing loan will be factored into the trade-in process.

Trading in a leased car is possible. The dealership will assess the vehicle's value, and the trade-in amount can be used to settle any remaining lease payments.

Regular maintenance, cleanliness, and providing detailed service records can help maximize your trade-in value, as can addressing any minor repairs or cosmetic issues.
