What to Bring to the Dealership When You're Ready to Buy or Lease in Lafayette, LA

If you’re ready to press the gas on your new or used model purchase, congratulations! Our team at Giles Volvo Cars would love to celebrate with you on your new investment, but first, let’s get your transaction completed. You’ll need a few things to bring with you to our finance office to complete your purchase or lease, but don’t be overwhelmed. We’ve created a checklist of documents, items and forms of ID that you’ll need to bring along, and we’ve organized our lists by need. So if you’d rather not trade in or sell your v ehicle to us, for example, just skip that section and keep reading! Our goal is to make sure that you won’t have to turn around to your home to search for a forgotten item — let’s make this process as smooth and uninterrupted as possible.

If you have a home printer and you’d rather view our list on paper, feel free to utilize our button below. Once you have everything that you need, we can’t wait to see you for your appointment!

Trade In Your Old Vehicle

If you’d like to get rid of your current vehicle at the same time, we have a way to do that! Sell us your used car, truck, SUV, minivan or hybrid outright, or place its value towards your new vehicle purchase or lease. Our CARFAX trade-in values have given many of our customers a bottom line that they love, and a hassle-free experience that you wouldn’t get if they sold their vehicle themselves. After filling out our secure and easy-to-use online portal, print your quote into the dealership with these items below:
