Buying a new or used car is an exciting milestone, and being prepared can make the process even smoother and stress-free. Whether you’re a first-time or seasoned car buyer, knowing what to bring to a dealership is key to completing your purchase efficiently. From a form of identification to last month’s pay stub, having everything you need gives you more time to drive away in the vehicle of your dreams. Discover what’s necessary to have on hand when you step foot on our lot.
Bring Your Driver’s License
Check if your driver’s license is in your wallet before you visit the dealership. You may need to present it before you take a vehicle out for a test drive, which can help you identify the one you want to purchase.
Bring Proof of Income
Proof of income is part of what to bring to a car dealership for financing. Suppose you’ve browsed the vehicles on our lot, completed a test drive, and know which one can best fulfill your traveling needs. Now it’s time to figure out how the vehicle fits your budget. When you apply for financing, our team will work with you to determine how much your monthly payments will be when you invest in a new set of wheels. Make sure you have documentation that shows how much money you make to learn what you qualify for based on your financial situation.
Payment Method
Think about how you want to pay for the car that you want. If you’re financing the car through our dealership, you may be required to fill out extra paperwork, but it’s still a good idea to have a debit card, cash, or a check on hand to fulfill your down payment. As you consider which Hyundai is most affordable to you, consider how much money you will need to bring when you’re ready to purchase it. Our Finance Department can help you come up with the down payment amount (if a down payment is needed at all).
Proof of Insurance
Tennessee state law requires you to have auto insurance to drive your vehicle. Before you can walk away with the keys to your new ride, you will be required to show proof of your insurance policy to our dealership. The cost of insurance often depends on the type of vehicle you’re purchasing and the amount of driving experience you have. If you already know the car that you want, you can save time during the car-buying process by getting an insurance quote before going to the dealership.
Vehicle Documentation
Vehicle documentation is part of what to bring to a dealership when trading in a car. Make sure you have the title of your current vehicle, which shows that you’re the owner, and a copy of your registration. If you have yet to pay off the loan on the car, you will need to provide an account number for the loan.
