Your Paperwork Checklist
| Bring this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Title, or lender details | Proves ownership. If there is a loan, your lender information lets us arrange the payoff. |
| Photo ID | A valid driver's license or state ID confirms who is selling. |
| Current registration | Matches the vehicle to the owner. |
| All keys and fobs | A missing key can lower the number, so bring every one you have. |
| Service records | Receipts for oil changes and repairs show the car has been looked after. |
| Every titled owner | When two names are on the title, both generally need to sign. |
Still making payments? You are in good company. Bring your lender's name and account details and we will request the payoff. Anything above the payoff amount is yours, and if you owe more than the car is worth, your advisor will explain your options first.

How is my offer calculated?
The appraiser looks at year, trim, mileage, condition, accident and service history, and what comparable vehicles are bringing in the local market. At Oakes Kia of Olathe the team walks you through those factors so you understand the number instead of just receiving it.

Yes. You can request a value on your vehicle without committing to buy anything. If you do decide to shop, the same vehicle can be used as a trade-in toward your next purchase.
Will you take a car with high miles, dents or a warning light on?

Is it better to trade in or sell my car on my own?
Selling on your own can sometimes bring in more money, but you take on the listing, the messages, the meetups, the test drives and the title and payment details. Selling or trading to a dealership is quicker and simpler, and a trade-in toward another vehicle may carry a sales tax benefit. Ask your advisor how that works in Kansas.
Are used car values still strong?
Used vehicle values have remained strong, which is why many owners are checking what their cars are worth. Your specific number depends on your vehicle's condition, mileage and local demand, so the only way to know is to request a value.
