How Dealers Value Your Trade
Do you have a vehicle that you’d like to trade in before buying a new or used Kia from our inventory? We can help! Our convenient online Kelley Blue Book® trade-in tool will value your car based on Blue Book® Values in less than a minute. While Kelley Blue Book® utilizes an algorithm that takes many factors into account (like make, model, age, mileage, etc.), there are a couple of things that you need to be aware of that also affect the value of your car. Keep reading to learn more about how exactly dealers value your trade and what you can do to potentially raise the value of your vehicle.
Your Vehicle’s
Condition
The less that our technicians have to do to make your car presentable — like interior cleaning, touching up exterior paint, minor repairs, etc. — the more it’s worth to us. You’ll likely want to wash, vacuum and detail your car, truck or SUV before driving down to our dealership to confirm your online quote. A clean, presentable vehicle will sell more quickly than a dirty, unkempt one.
Our Current
Inventory
We consider what’s in our current inventory when we consider buying your vehicle. So for example, if you’d like to sell us your Kia Sorento and we have an abundance of Kia Sorento models that haven’t sold, then our trade-in price most likely won’t be ideal. But if we believe that the likelihood of a sale for your vehicle is high, you’ll see our trade-in quote most likely climb higher.
