We Buy Cars

How Much Is My Car Worth?

Your car's value depends on more than its model year. Two vehicles of the same make and model can receive different offers due to their mileage, maintenance history, equipment, and physical condition.

We consider several factors during an appraisal:

• Year, make, model, and trim: Vehicle configuration and original equipment influence market value.
• Mileage: Total miles provide important information about usage and potential wear.
• Mechanical condition: Engine performance, transmission operation, brakes, and other components affect the appraisal.
• Exterior and interior: Paint damage, dents, upholstery wear, and other cosmetic concerns can influence an offer.
• Vehicle history: Reported accidents, ownership history, and maintenance documentation provide additional context.
• Market demand: Local resale conditions and comparable vehicle prices affect what a dealership can pay.

Our online Kelley Blue Book tool gives Santa Barbara vehicle owners a convenient starting point. The Instant Cash Offer remains valid for seven days, subject to verification of the vehicle's information and condition. Get your KBB instant cash offer to see what your vehicle could be worth.

Can I Sell My Car If I Still Have a Loan?

Yes. Toyota of Lompoc buys vehicles with outstanding loans. That means you can get an appraisal and sell your car even if you're still making payments.

Here's how your remaining loan balance affects the sale:

• Your car is worth more than you owe: We'll pay off your loan, and you'll receive the remaining money.
• You owe more than your car is worth: You'll need to pay the difference or discuss financing options if you're purchasing another vehicle.
• You don't know your loan balance: We can help you get the payoff amount from your lender.

We'll explain your offer, handle all the paperwork, and help you complete the sale.

Apply Your Trade-In Value Toward a New or Used Vehicle

Your current car can help pay for your next one. At Toyota of Lompoc, you can trade in your car, truck, or SUV and put its value toward a new Toyota or one of our used vehicles.

Here's how it works:

1. Get your car appraised. We'll inspect your vehicle and make a trade-in offer.
2. Find your next vehicle. Choose from our new Toyota inventory or one of our used cars, trucks, and SUVs.
3. Use your trade-in value. We'll apply your car's value toward your next purchase.
4. Pay less for your next car. Your trade-in value may reduce the amount you need to pay or finance.

Maybe your older pickup is ready for replacement, or you need more passenger space for family trips around Santa Ynez. You could trade your current vehicle toward a new Toyota Tacoma, a Toyota Highlander, or a used model that fits your needs.

You can also trade in a vehicle you're still paying off. We'll explain how your remaining loan balance affects your trade-in value and how much you can put toward your next car.

What About My Leased Vehicle?

You may be able to sell your leased car to Toyota of Lompoc before your lease ends. Your leasing company determines whether a dealership can purchase the vehicle.

Here's how it works:

1. Check your lease terms. Find out whether your leasing company allows you to sell your vehicle to another dealership.
2. Get an appraisal. We'll inspect your vehicle and make an offer.
3. Compare the values. We'll help you determine whether our offer covers the buyout amount required for your lease.
