Having the right documents ready speeds up the financing process. Typically, you'll want to bring:

- **Government ID** (driver's license or passport)
- **Proof of income** (recent pay stubs, tax returns, or business documentation)
- **Proof of residence** (utility bill or lease agreement)
- **Employment verification** (if self-employed, additional docs may help)
- **Down payment funds** (proof of savings if paying a deposit)

If you're trading in a vehicle, bring your current registration and title.

Our Finance team can give you a complete checklist when you call or visit. Having docs ready makes the process smooth and quick. Call **(847) 439-0900** to confirm what you'll need, or stop by **175 N Arlington Heights Rd, Elk Grove Village** to start your application.
