Video Summary

Bringing the right documents can make buying or trading smoother. Bring valid, unexpired ID that’s accepted for title and registration paperwork, and have your current address, phone number and email ready. For a test drive, bring your driver’s license, check the dealership’s license and insurance requirements first, and confirm whether a co-buyer needs to come too. If you’re financing, you may be asked for proof of income, proof of residence, employment details and insurance information. Requirements vary by lender, so confirm before you bring sensitive paperwork. If you’re trading in, bring the vehicle, the title if you have it, your current registration, every key, fob and remote, and any service records. If you’re still making payments, bring your lender’s name, your loan account number and a current payoff amount with its good-through date. Gather everything before you leave home and bring only what matches your plan. For out-of-state, business-owned or inherited vehicles, confirm the paperwork first.
