What to Bring When Buying a Car – 423 Auto

Buying a car is an exciting step, but showing up unprepared can slow things down. At 423 Auto in East Ridge, we want your buying experience to be quick, smooth, and stress-free. Here's a checklist of what to bring with you when you're ready to drive off in your next ride!

1. Valid Driver’s License

We’ll need to see your current driver’s license to complete the sale and register the vehicle in your name.

2. Proof of Insurance

Before you can take your new car home, you’ll need to show valid insurance for the vehicle. If you don’t have it yet, call your provider while at the lot—they can add your new car to your policy on the spot.

3. Form of Payment or Financing Details

Whether you're paying cash, putting down a deposit, or financing:

  • Cash buyers: Bring cash, a cashier’s check, or be ready for a secure bank transfer.

  • Financing: Bring your pre-approval letter, ID, proof of income, and proof of residence (like a utility bill).

4. Trade-In Paperwork (if applicable)

Trading in your current vehicle? Bring:

  • The title if it’s paid off

  • Loan info if you still owe money

  • Registration and extra keys/remotes

5. Recent Pay Stubs or Bank Statements

If you're financing through us or a lender on site, having your last two pay stubs or proof of income can help speed up the approval process.

6. A Co-Signer (if needed)

If your credit needs support, having a co-signer with you can help you get approved and possibly secure a better rate.
