What to Bring to the Dealership when Buying a Car
Finally, the time arrives, and you can purchase your new car and go home and celebrate. But before you can do that, there are certain processes involved, and most of us tend to skip this step because it can get quite boring. But if you want to avoid any issues and streamline the process of buying a car, it’s important to know what to bring to the dealership when buying a car.
Here is everything you should bring with you to get the paperwork done quickly.
-
A Valid Driver’s License:
A valid driver’s license is required no matter where you go if you want to drive. The dealership will require your valid driver’s license, so make sure it is not expired, suspended, or revoked.
-
Proof of Residence:
You will also require proving where you live and present that as proof of residence. Some acceptable documents include your recent utility bill, mortgage agreement, and others.
-
Proof of Income:
This is one of the most obvious parts, as the dealership will require proof of your income, especially if you apply for a loan. They will need to see whether you have a steady income or not to pay the monthly installments. You can keep your recent paycheck stub that shows your earnings which proves your employment. If you are a self-employed person, then you can show your bank statements and recent tax returns.

Proof of Insurance:
Before going to the dealership, make sure that you have all the documents required before taking the delivery. If required, you can contact your agent beforehand to go in there completely prepared with all the documents you need. This will also help you save some time.
-
Payment Method:
You could be buying the car through a check, cash, or even a loan. No matter what your payment method is, make sure that you inform the dealership beforehand. In case you are purchasing your new car with the help of a loan, keep all the documents ready. Also, be prepared to spend some additional time in the dealership as you might have to complete a lot of paperwork.
