If you're trading in your vehicle toward a new Volkswagen purchase, the credit is applied immediately-usually as part of the same transaction. You'll see the trade-in value reduce the price of your new car right there in the paperwork.

If you're selling your car outright without purchasing a vehicle from us, payment timing depends on how you finalize the transaction. Our finance team can discuss your options when you call. Typically, we complete the payment and title transfer efficiently so you can move forward quickly.

For exact timing on your specific situation, call us at (847) 593-4700. Our team will walk you through the payment process and make sure everything is clear before you sign anything. We want you to feel confident and informed every step of the way!
