Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much money do I need to put down?

A: Depends what you are comfortable with. We always recommend our customers put some equity into their deal. This is to add benefit because there will be less negative equity should you have to upgrade in a few years, and money down also allows for better financing terms. Quite often no money down is required, but ultimately depends on the unique situation. If the bank requires you must put a certain dollar amount down for an approval, we will let you know.

Q2: I am out of town, or unavailable until a later time, but I want a vehicle. How do I secure it?
