How to Trade in a Kia Car
The time has come to trade in your current ride for a new one. Maybe you switched careers and need a fuel-sipping sedan for your new commute or your family has grown and it’s time to get a size up from that coupe to an SUV.
There are three easy steps to trading in your Kia car to a dealership:
- Value Your Trade
- Prepare Your Car for Sale
- Find Your Next New Ride!
Read this page from Andy Mohr Kia about how to trade in a Kia car in the Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN, areas, and then come on by to get behind the wheel of your next new ride!
1.Value Your Trade
When you trade in a Kia car, you can apply the value of your current ride toward your new Kia vehicle, so the first step to trading in your model is to see how much it is worth.
Luckily, our dealership makes this easy. Use our online Kelley Blue Book® Instant Cash Offer tool. Using Kelley Blue Book values, this calculator will take into account the information regarding your Kia vehicle and create an accurate offer.

What If I Still Owe on My Current Ride?
It’s still easy to trade in a Kia vehicle that you owe money on.
If the amount of the outstanding loan balance is less than the value of the ride, you can still apply the remaining value toward the cost of your new Kia vehicle. For instance, if a driver owes $2,000 on a ride valued at $10,000, they can then apply $8,000 toward the cost of the new Kia vehicle.
If the outstanding loan balance is less than the value of the ride, it’s still possible to trade it in. Pay the remaining loan balance in one sum or combine the loan from the previous model and the loan of the new one.
Our expert financial team has years of experience working with drivers with diverse needs. We can craft custom solutions that work for you.
2.Prepare Your Kia Car for Sale
Once you have your trade-in value, it’s time to start preparing your Kia car for sale. To do this, you’ll need to gather the necessary paperwork:
- Title or loan information
- Maintenance records
Then, it’s important to clean the model thoroughly. Remove any personal items, vacuum the interior, and get a wash.
If your Kia vehicle needs minor repairs, take care of those too. Keep an eye out for any recalls as well. This extra bit of effort results in a better-looking and -performing Kia vehicle, which can potentially net you a higher offer while trading in.
3.Find Your Next New Ride
Now that your current ride has a trade-in value and a fresh shine, it’s time to start looking at what you want to drive home next. The trade-in value can help you set a budget for your new Kia vehicle.
Researching your next ride is easy on our site. You can search through everything we have on our lot from the comfort of your home. Sort results using filters for price, model year, make, color, and even special features, like sunroofs, heated seats, and more.
Once you find a few models that pique your interest, schedule a test drive!

Value Your Trade
If you’re looking to change your vehicle and are wondering about the value of your trade-in vehicle, we’ve got you covered. At Andy Mohr Kia, we’ve put together this Value Your Trade tool to assist drivers near Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN, in this process.
How Does It Work?
Our Value Your Trade Tool uses advanced algorithms to give you the estimated market value of your current car. Just provide essential information about your vehicle, such as make, model, year, additional features, and maintenance records, and get a better understanding of your car's value in just a few clicks.
This can be a pretty useful tool to negotiate or plan the budget for the car you have been considering.
What Determines the Value of Your Trade-In?
Several factors contribute to the determination of your vehicle's trade-in value. Newer models typically have higher prices since they have usually experienced less wear and tear. This means that the model year and mileage are key factors to keep in mind when estimating the value of a car.
Additionally, the condition of your car significantly influences its appraised value. Keeping up with routine maintenance and retaining service documentation can further enhance your vehicle's trade-in value, demonstrating its care and upkeep over time.
Furthermore, some models and makes tend to retain their value more than others or have a higher demand among drivers. Lastly, your car’s features and amenities are also important for maintaining a high market value.
How to Trade in Your Car
After getting the estimated value, you can continue the trade-in process with our dealership or sell us your vehicle and walk away with the cash. If you choose to trade in your car with us, the next step is finding your next ride from our inventory. You can opt for one of the new Kia vehicles in our inventory, such as the Kia Forte, Sportage, or Sorento.
You can also pick one of the cars from our pre-owned inventory, which includes various makes and models. Whether you're interested in a compact sedan, a spacious SUV, or a reliable truck, our pre-owned inventory has something to match your needs and preferences.
