Do I Need to Bring That? All the Paperwork You Need to Drive off the Lot in 2016

You’ve scoured the web, checking and rechecking deals. You’ve driven every car on every lot in the greater Lafayette area. It’s a serious decision, but you also don’t like wasting your time. So now that you’ve finally decided on your perfect car, why wait any longer than necessary to get behind the wheel? Here’s all the paperwork you need to bring to drive off the lot in your new car in one go.

At the dealership, you’ll need

• Current driver’s license
• Insurance card: Give your agent a call to determine the cost of insurance for your new car and notify them of the purchase. Most insurance companies can fax a copy of your new insurance to the dealership to expedite the car-buying process.
• Trade documents: If you’re planning on trading in your current car, you’ll need the title, registration, keys, and owner’s manual. If you still owe money on your current car, you’ll need the loan account number or a recent loan payment stub

In order to finance your purchase, you should bring

• Proof of employment: Your last two pay stubs should be sufficient—if you have multiple jobs, bring two pay stubs from each.
• Proof of residency
• List of references: Make sure your references don’t share an address with you!

But at Southwest Volkswagen, financing is simple. The financing department offers a free on-line credit application and quick approval process, so you can get pre-approved for your vehicle today. The complimentary payment calculator lets you determine the best payment plan for you. And with the competitive rates straight from local Louisiana banks, you could set up your loan and avoid the headache of another bank’s approval process. Call or visit www.southwestvw.com today to see if we create a financing option that works for you.
