The fastest approvals happen when you walk in with everything. Here's the checklist.
The must-haves
- Valid ID — driver's license, state ID or current passport
- Proof of income — a recent pay stub, a benefits letter, or proof of other regular income
- Proof of residence — a recent utility bill, lease or rent receipt with your name and address
- Personal references — names and phone numbers of people who know you (we'll tell you how many your deal needs)
- Your down payment — ask us which forms of payment we accept
If you're trading in
- The vehicle's title (or your lender's name and account number if you still owe on it)
- Registration and all keys and remotes
If you're self-employed or paid in cash
Bring bank statements for the last few months, recent tax returns, or 1099s. The goal is simply to show steady income — we'll help you figure out what works.
