KBB Instant Cash Offer

Value Your Trade with the Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer

The form above asks about the vehicle you own and returns a Kelley Blue Book offer certificate built on current market data. Bring it to 1045 N. Central Ave in Fairborn, we confirm the car matches what you entered, and you decide what to do from there. You don't have to buy anything to find out what your car is worth.

What Goes Into Your Trade-In Value

The number that comes back is only as good as the details you put in. Answer the way you would if we were standing next to the car with you, because eventually we will be. Worth having on hand:

  • The VIN, or year, make, model and trim if you don't have it handy. A VIN pulls the factory build and takes the guesswork out of trim level.
  • Actual mileage. Go read the odometer instead of estimating. It moves the number more than almost anything else here.
  • Options and packages. Sunroof, leather, all wheel drive, tow package, upgraded audio, driver assistance features.
  • Condition, honestly. Dents, scratches, curb rash, cracked glass, torn upholstery, worn tires, smoke or pet odor.
  • Anything mechanical. A check engine light, a transmission that hunts, suspension noise, maintenance you've been putting off.
  • Title status and history. Clean, salvage, rebuilt and branded titles are valued differently, and so are prior accidents and repaint work.
  • Keys and extras. A second fob, factory mats, cargo cover, the original wheels sitting in your garage.

What Happens When You Bring the Car In

Every Instant Cash Offer is conditional until someone puts eyes on the vehicle. The appraisal typically covers the exterior and interior, the VIN and odometer, tires and brakes, stored fault codes, the history report and a short drive. If what we find lines up with what you reported, the offer stands as written. If it doesn't, the amount gets adjusted, and we'll show you what changed and why rather than handing you a different number with no explanation.

Bring your driver's license, the title or your lienholder and loan account information, current registration, every key and remote, and any service records you've kept. If two people are named on the title, both need to be there to sign.

Sell It Outright or Put It Toward a Trade

Selling is the simpler path. We handle the title work, and if you still owe on the vehicle we can pay the lender directly and settle any remaining equity with you. That stands whether or not you're shopping for a replacement, which is what our Sell Us Your Car program is for.

Trading applies the value to whatever you're buying, whether that's a new Mitsubishi like the Outlander, Outlander PHEV, Outlander Sport or Eclipse Cross, or something from our pre-owned inventory. Ohio credits trade-in value against the taxable price of a vehicle bought from a dealer, so trading can lower the sales tax you owe. How much depends on the deal, and we'll walk the math with you before you sign.

Not ready to do either? Your certificate carries a printed expiration date. Use it as a benchmark while you shop and come back when it makes sense.
