Sell Your Car in Rochester, Minnesota, in Four Easy Steps

Get cash for your car at Tom Kadlec Kia by following these four easy steps: 

Step 1: Visit Tom Kadlec Kia

Stop by our dealership at 4444 U.S.-52 North in Rochester to speak with one of our sales associates. Let us know you want to sell your vehicle, and we'll help you start the sale process. We are open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you prefer to schedule an appointment, call our sales department at 507-215-8923.

Step 2: Submit Your Contact and Vehicle Information

Our professional sales associate will ask you for your basic contact information, including your full name, address, and phone number. Please also provide us with important information about the vehicle you wish to sell, such as its make, model, year, and current mileage. The sales associate will input this information into our database and pass it along to one of our sales managers for further assistance.

Step 3: Complete a Vehicle Evaluation

After receiving your information, our sales manager will drive and evaluate your vehicle. Part of the vehicle evaluation involves assessing its current condition, including whether it has been in any accidents or needs repairs. Once your car passes the evaluation, you can move on to the final step.

Step 4: Accept the Fair Market Value Offer

Our sales associate will present you with a fair market value for your vehicle, indicating the purchase price for us to buy it from you. If you approve the offer, we will purchase your vehicle immediately. No extra charges or fees apply, and no purchase is necessary.

Documents and Items Needed to Sell Your Car

If you decide to sell your vehicle to Tom Kadlec Kia, we've made the process as convenient as possible. Here are the essential documents and items you need to bring to finalize the sale process.

•  Vehicle title: The legal document detailing proof of ownership of your vehicle.
• Copy of your driver's license: A copy of the official document that gives you legal authorization to operate a vehicle. 
•  Bank lien release (if listed on title): A lien is filed against your car if you have an auto loan or owe money on the vehicle. The lien release formally gives up your claim to the vehicle, allowing other parties to purchase it with no strings attached. 
•  All available keys and remotes: This includes key FOBs, ignition keys, glovebox keys, spare keys, and separate trunk keys.
•  Signatures of all owners listed on the title: If you have a co-signer or an additional owner listed on your vehicle's title, we need their signature to release ownership and finally sell the vehicle.

Bring these items with you when you visit Tom Kadlec Kia to sell your vehicle, and that's it. Within one to two business days, you will receive a check for the fair market value of your car.

Reasons to Sell Your Car for Cash

While the reason to sell your car for cash may seem obvious, it can vary from person to person. Perhaps you need the money more than you need the car. Or maybe you can't afford the monthly payments, so taking public transportation for the time being is the best solution for your financial situation. Whatever the reason, our Tom Kadlec Kia team is here to help. Here are some reasons to sell your car to us:

• Your car's value is not worth the cost of repair: Say your vehicle needs a new transmission. In most cases, replacing the transmission does not make financial sense doing so can cost more than the car's value. In this scenario, selling your car and pocketing the cash makes more sense.
• Driving is getting too expensive: With rising insurance rates and gas prices, owning a car may not be cost-effective.
• You cannot afford your car payments: If you realize you can no longer afford your car payments, it may be best to sell it. The same is true if you cannot refinance your loan or get a deferment and you are at risk of defaulting on your loan or getting your car repossessed. 
• The cash for your car has more value elsewhere: Are you struggling to pay your bills or rent? Depending on your situation, these expenses may be more important than having a car payment or paying high auto insurance premiums monthly. Cashing out the equity for your car may make more financial sense so you can use the funds to pay for the essentials.
