Buyer's guide

Your Guide to Buying a Car

No confusion, no games — just a straight path to your next ride.

What to bring

  • Valid driver's license or state ID
  • Proof of insurance (or be ready to get a quote — we can help)
  • Down payment (cash, cashier's check, or debit card)
  • Trade-in title (if applicable)
  • Proof of income (if financing)

How our pricing works

We price every car at its real cash value — not an inflated number designed to hide a financing markup.

That means when you see $12,999, that's the real price. If you finance, the interest is on top of that number — not hidden inside it.

This is the opposite of what most dealers do, and it saves you money.

What "out the door" means

Cash price Tax DMV fees $85 doc fee Out the door

We break down every dollar so you know exactly what you're paying. Tax and DMV depend on where you register the car, so the figure moves a little by ZIP code.
