What is a KBB Instant Cash Offer

What is a KBB Instant Cash Offer?

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for a Kelly Blue Book Instant Cash Offer. As a participating dealership, we are prepared to make you these offers. Below you’ll find some relevant information on the details of these offers.

Unfortunately, the KBB Instant Cash Offer isn’t as simple as offering you the Kelly Blue Book value of your vehicle. There are a variety of conditions that can affect the offer made for your pre-owned vehicle. It is close, however. First, Kelly Blue Book needs to know the details about your car. After you put these details in their website at KBB.com,  an offer for your vehicle will be calculated based on the condition of the vehicle, current local market, available features of the vehicle, and a variety of other factors.

Once you get this offer, you have 7 days to bring your vehicle to a participating dealership, like Ames Ford Lincoln, to redeem this offer. The dealer then inspects the vehicle to make sure that everything is square with not only what was put into the KBB site, but also to make sure there are no glaring mechanical problems that you were unaware of. After this inspection, if everything is good, you will have one day to redeem your offer at the value KBB calculated for you on their website. This offer can be raised or lowered, however, depending on the condition of your vehicle during the inspection. After redeeming your offer and selling your vehicle for its unique KBB best value, you can walk away from the transaction with a check in hand immediately.

One of the best parts of the KBB Instant Cash Offer is that you can use it even if your car is financed or leased. Just bring it to us, at Ames Ford Lincoln, after receiving your offer and we’ll take care of the details.

Want a different vehicle instead of cash in hand? KBB will also calculate an estimate a trade in credit that can be a useful tool for negotiating when purchasing your next vehicle. In some cases, this trade in credit will be higher than the KBB cash offer, which makes it advantageous financially to use it towards your next car.
While most people should have no trouble finding their vehicle’s value with the KBB Instant Cash Offer tool, it should be noted that there are some cases where the KBB site won’t calculate an KBB Instant Cash Offer value. Some models aren’t covered by this program, and if there were excessive vehicle modifications done, for example, KBB won’t be able to make an Instant Cash Offer.

Once you’ve gone through the simple process of finding your KBB Instant Cash Offer, don’t delay, because you only have seven days! Bring your vehicle to Ames Ford Lincoln to take care of the rest of the details and walk away with a sweet check in hand, or a sweeter new car. We’re happy to participate in this program and love it when a customer walks away with cold hard cash, or drives away in an amazing Ford product. You can’t go wrong. If you’re from Ames, Marshalltown, Ankeny, or Boone, come to us first, at Ames Ford Lincoln, to redeem your KBB Instant Cash Offer.
