Why You Should Get a Cash Offer for Your Vehicle Regularly:
  • Even if you're not planning to sell your vehicle, it's beneficial to get a cash offer 3-4 times a year.
  • Places to get cash offers:
    • Kelly Blue Book (KBB)
    • TrueCar
    • CarGurus
    • CarMax
  • Process: Enter your VIN number, ZIP code, mileage, and receive a bona fide cash offer.
Benefits of Getting a Cash Offer:
  • Know Your Car's Value: Understand the current worth of your vehicle.
  • Equity Awareness: Compare the offer with your car loan to gauge your equity.
  • Insurance Claims: If your car is stolen or wrecked, you'll know its pre-incident value to avoid being lowballed by your insurance company.
  • Diminished Value: After repairs, get another cash offer to understand the impact of the damage record on your vehicle’s value.
    • Example: A car worth $25,000 before a wreck might be valued at $22,000 after repairs due to Carfax damage records.
    • Insurance might have to compensate for the diminished value; check your policy and state laws.
Documentation and Follow-Up:
  • Record Keeping: Save the official value and email for documentation.
  • In Case of Damage: If your car is wrecked, get a cash offer the same day to document its pre-accident value.
Making Informed Decisions:
  • Track Depreciation: Regularly updating your car’s value helps you keep track of depreciation.
  • Consider Selling or Trading In: Knowing your car’s worth might influence your decision to trade it in or sell it.
    • Example: A client with a minivan worth $30,000 found they could trade it for a newer model, saving money and upgrading their vehicle.
