Sell or Trade Your Car

You can enter information about your vehicle through the Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer tool on this page. The offer is based on details such as the vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, equipment, condition, and local market factors. The vehicle will need to be inspected before the offer is finalized.

Yes. You can sell your vehicle directly to us without buying another vehicle. If you are shopping for a replacement, you can also apply your Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer toward another vehicle and browse the new inventory or pre-owned inventory.

Your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, equipment, mechanical condition, interior and exterior condition, and current market demand can all affect its value. Local and regional market conditions can matter too, which is why two otherwise similar vehicles may not receive exactly the same offer.

The online offer is based on the information you provide about your vehicle. During the in-person inspection, the vehicle's condition and other details are verified, and it may be test-driven. If the vehicle differs from the information entered online, the offer can be adjusted based on what the inspection confirms.

Yes. A vehicle with an outstanding loan can still be sold or traded, but the lien and payoff must be handled as part of the transaction. If your vehicle is worth more than the payoff amount, the remaining equity can be paid to you or applied toward another vehicle. If the payoff is higher than the offer, the difference must be addressed before the title can be cleared. If you are planning another vehicle purchase, you can also review the Finance Center to see how your payoff and equity fit into the transaction.

A Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer is valid for seven days. If you do not redeem it during that period, you can request another offer, but the amount may change based on your vehicle and current market conditions.

Bring your Instant Cash Offer certificate, vehicle registration, a valid driver's license or other government-issued photo ID, and the vehicle title. If the vehicle is financed, bring your lienholder information instead. You should also bring all available keys and remotes, along with any service or repair records you have.

A Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer is a specific offer that can be used to sell your vehicle or applied toward another vehicle, subject to inspection. A Kelley Blue Book Trade-In Value is an estimate of what a vehicle like yours may be worth when traded toward another vehicle. The Instant Cash Offer uses more specific information about your individual vehicle and is valid for a limited period.
