Out of State Buying

Step One:

Choose Your Vehicle & Reserve It.

Found the one you love? Great! Secure it with a $500 refundable deposit (applied toward your purchase).


Step Two:

Financing:

We'll send you a link to complete a secure online credit application. Once terms are reviewed and approved, we'll either email documents for e-signature (if available through your lender) or overnight all paperwork with a pre-paid return envelope. After we receive your completed paperwork, allow up to 3 business days for funding to clear.

Step Three:

Get Your Car!

Once your paperwork is complete and funds are cleared, your vehicle is ready for pickup or delivery-your choice!

Need it shipped? No problem. We ship anywhere in the U.S. Call us at (815) 584-3016 for a personalized quote.


Frequently Asked Questions

A: Absolutely. We offer a wide range of warranty options to fit your needs, so your vehicle stays protected for the duration of your ownership or loan. GAP insurance is also highly recommended—it covers the difference between your loan balance and what your insurance pays in the event of a total loss. Want to learn more? Call us at (815) 584-3016 to explore your protection options.
A: Yes! No matter where you live, we can arrange delivery right to your door. Just contact your sales associate for a quote.
A: We make this part easy! Here's how it works based on your payment method and location: 

  • Financing: We calculate and collect your state’s sales tax, title, and license fees—and submit them on your behalf. You don’t need to lift a finger. 
  • Paying Cash – Live in AZ, CA, FL, HI, IN, MA, MI, or SC? We handle it the same way—collect your state’s taxes and fees and pay them directly.
  • Paying Cash – Live in any other state or D.C.? You choose! We can collect and remit your taxes and fees, or you can handle them yourself. 

Either way, we make the process stress-free and simple.
