How Instant Cash Offer works

Step 1: Consumers visit the Instant Cash Offer tool online

Car owners fill out a detailed description of the vehicle they’d like to sell or trade on Autotrader, KBB.com or your dealership website. Your dealership staff can also guide them through this process in your showroom.

Step 2: Instant Cash Offer tool generates the offer

The car owner receives an Instant Cash Offer to be used for trade-in or outright sale. The offer is valid for seven days.

Step 3: The customer brings you the offer

Once you have agreed on a price based on your assessment of the vehicle, the customer can apply the offer as a trade-in amount toward the purchase of one of your other vehicles. Or, they can walk away with the cash.

Step 4: You decide what to do with the vehicle

After you’ve acquired the vehicle, you have seven days to decide whether to resell it on your lot or sell it to Cox Automotive for the full trade-in amount. You choose!
