How the deal works
Buying a used car should not take all day. With us it is four clear steps — and you always know what happens next.
-
Step 1: Choose & view the car
Pick a car from our inventory and see it in person in Lake Forest, or take a live video walk-around from home. Ask for the Carfax report at any time.
-
Step 2: We prepare all the paperwork
We get every document ready for title transfer and registration, and itemize any government-required tax or registration fees in writing.
-
Step 3: Sign the documents
Review everything at your own pace and sign. No extra or hidden DMV or dealer fees — what is written is what you pay.
-
Step 4: The car is yours — drive home
Pay with cash, a cashier’s check or your own bank / credit-union loan, take the keys and drive home.
