What to Bring to the Dealership When Buying or Leasing

1. Driver’s license

We’ll use your license as your official identification. If you have taken a test drive with us in the past, we may already have your license on record, but it’s a good idea to bring it just in case.

2. Social security number

If you don’t have your number memorized, bring your social security card. Even if you’re purchasing your car with cash, we’ll need your social security number for tax purposes (since nearly every financial transaction over $10,000 must be reported to the IRS).

3. Proof of car insurance

All 50 states require you to have car insurance of some kind in order to drive legally, so we require that you show proof that you’re insured before we sell or lease a vehicle to you.

4. Wallet or checkbook

Be sure you're prepared to pay for your new ride. Even if you’re financing a vehicle, you will need cash, a credit card or a cashier’s check in hand to make your down payment. Make sure that you have a plan in place for how you’re going to pay for your new car before you visit us.

5. Proof of employment, residence and salary

Bring mail that shows your name and address as well as pay stubs.

And if you're trading in your old car:

6. A trade-in appraisal

If you already have a KBB® Instant Cash Offer for your old car, make sure to print out the offer and bring it with you to our dealership. Haven’t gotten your offer yet? Value your trade now!

7. Your old car's title and all sets of keys

When you trade in your car, you’ll need to hand over the title and keys.
