Trade-In Value

Carousel Online utilizes Kelly Blue Book® to estimate an instant cash offer on your car. For those trading in their car, we will directly put the total offer towards your next high-quality vehicle from Carousel Online. Your Instant Cash Offer is calculated using a proprietary tool that accounts for fluctuating market conditions and used car prices that may vary from day to day, like home or stock prices. This value will be available for seven days, after that you will need to receive an updated value by re-submitting your information. The calculation includes multiple data sources and is based on factors that affect used car pricing such as:

• Your Specific Vehicle Details: Our tool factors in details that are specific to your vehicle including mechanical condition, mileage, car features, exterior/Interior condition, and the market landscape for your specific model.
• Supply and Demand: Consumers have a large role in determining a car's value. When more buyers demand a particular vehicle, and its inventory is down, the value goes up. For example, when gas prices are at a premium, fuel-efficient vehicles may be in higher demand and sell for higher prices.
• Historical Trends: Historically, some cars hold their value and are in higher demand than others. Similarly, vehicle transaction prices may steadily increase over time, making those cars a more sought-after commodity.
• Regional Differences: Buyers may be willing to pay sellers higher prices for the same vehicle depending on regional differences. For example, buyers in rural areas may consider large trucks more valuable than buyers in a city where parking spaces are tight.
• Local Market Influences: We also take into account comparable vehicle sales in your area - this information may include dealer sales data, auction prices, and private seller prices from local advertisements.

How to Trade-In Your Car

After receiving your Kelley Blue Book® estimate, you will need to bring your car to an authorized dealership to have that value verified by an expert. Carousel Online has participating dealerships all over the country and will connect you with the nearest location. At your appraisal, your car will be examined to make sure it matches the online offer. As a reminder, your offer is valid for seven days, after that the offer could change and you will need to resubmit a request. Additionally, You'll have 1 day after inspection to redeem your Instant Cash Offer. If your car's condition changes or you add more than 50 miles from the time of inspection, your Offer may be recalculated. When bringing your vehicle to a participating dealership, you should bring the following: 

• Your Instant Cash Offer certificate
• Your vehicle title. If you don't have a title because your car is financed, bring your lienholder information. If your car is leased, check with your leasing company to find out what paperwork they require.
• Your vehicle registration
• A valid driver's license or other government photo ID
• All keys, keyless remotes, and manuals
• Service and repair records
