It depends on a few things: how complete your application is, lender response time, and your pre-approval status. If you're pre-approved and have your documents ready, the finance team can often finalize everything in a few hours. If you're applying on the spot, it may take a bit longer as the lender reviews your info. The good news is our finance team works efficiently to keep the process moving. Starting with a pre-approval before you visit can really speed things up. For a realistic timeline based on your situation, call (847) 593-4700-our team will give you an honest estimate and work to get you behind the wheel as quickly as possible.
