What Should I Bring to the Dealership When I'm Ready to Buy or Lease?
What to Bring to the Dealership When You're Ready to Buy or Lease in Lafayette, LA
Found the new Subaru or used vehicle of your dreams? You’re not alone. Many residents from Lafayette, New Iberia, Abbeville, Youngsville and Broussard, LA, have driven home in a quality vehicle from our dealership, but some have been confused about what to bring with them to seal the deal. That’s why our team at Giles Subaru has created a comprehensive checklist of items, documents and forms of ID that you’ll need to buy, lease, trade, test-drive and finish up in an efficient manner. The last thing that we’d want for you to do is turn around on your way to our finance office since you forgot your proof of income document — for example — so keep scrolling below to read through our dealership checklist.
You can check off the items on the list from your phone, or for even more convenience, print our checklist on your home printer. Either way, we can’t wait to help you secure a competitive rate on a car you love!
