Our finance team will guide you through everything, but generally you'll want to bring: a valid photo ID (driver's license or passport), proof of income (recent pay stubs or tax returns), proof of address (utility bill or lease agreement), and details on any trade-in or down payment. If you're financing, the lender may also request references or employment information. Having documents ready speeds up the process, but don't worry-our team will let you know exactly what's needed when you call or visit. For the most accurate list of what to bring for your specific situation, call (847) 593-4700 and ask the finance team. They'll make sure you're fully prepared, and the process stays smooth and quick.
