Can't Find Your Answer?

BUYING PROCESS

Everything you need to know about purchasing a vehicle

How do I start the buying process?

Starting your journey with Elite Motors is simple. First, browse our online inventory to find vehicles that interest you. Once you've identified potential matches, schedule a test drive through our website or by calling our sales team. Our specialists will walk you through every step, from initial consultation to final delivery.

Can I test drive multiple vehicles?

Absolutely! We encourage test driving multiple vehicles to ensure you find the perfect match. Schedule back-to-back appointments to compare different models. Our team can also arrange extended test drives for serious buyers who want a comprehensive experience.

What documents do I need to purchase a vehicle?

You'll need a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and proof of residence. If financing, bring recent pay stubs or proof of income. For trade-ins, bring your current vehicle's title and registration. Our team will guide you through any additional documentation needed.

Do you offer vehicle delivery?

Yes! We offer complimentary white-glove delivery within 50 miles of our showroom. For customers outside this range, we can arrange professional vehicle transport at competitive rates. All deliveries include a comprehensive vehicle orientation.

What is your vehicle inspection process?

Every pre-owned vehicle undergoes a rigorous 150-point inspection by our certified technicians. This includes mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic evaluations. We provide a detailed inspection report with every vehicle, and all necessary reconditioning is completed before sale.

FINANCING OPTIONS

Understanding your financing and lease options

What financing options do you offer?

We partner with premier financial institutions to offer competitive financing and leasing options. Our finance team works with multiple lenders to secure the best rates based on your credit profile. We offer terms from 24 to 84 months with flexible down payment options.

Can I get pre-approved for financing?

Yes! You can complete a secure pre-approval application online or in-person. Pre-approval gives you purchasing power and helps streamline the buying process. It typically takes less than 24 hours to receive your decision and doesn't impact your final credit inquiry.

What credit score do I need to finance a vehicle?

While higher credit scores generally secure better rates, we work with clients across all credit spectrums. Our diverse lending partners allow us to find solutions for various credit situations. Contact our finance team to discuss your specific circumstances.

What's the difference between leasing and buying?

Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments and allows you to drive a new vehicle every few years. Buying builds equity and has no mileage restrictions. Our finance specialists can explain both options in detail and help determine which best fits your lifestyle and financial goals.

TRADE-IN QUESTIONS

Maximize the value of your current vehicle

How do I get a trade-in value for my vehicle?

You can get an instant estimate using our online trade-in tool, or schedule an in-person appraisal at our showroom. Our valuations are based on current market data, vehicle condition, mileage, and service history. We offer competitive trade-in values and transparent evaluations.

Do I need to pay off my current loan before trading in?

No, you don't need to pay off your loan first. We handle the payoff process directly with your lender. If your vehicle is worth more than the loan balance (positive equity), the difference can be applied as a down payment. If there's negative equity, we can often roll it into your new financing.

What condition does my trade-in need to be in?

We accept trade-ins in all conditions. While vehicles in better condition command higher values, we consider all factors including maintenance history, accident reports, and market demand. Complete service records and a clean vehicle presentation can help maximize your trade-in value.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Keeping your vehicle in peak condition

Do I need to service my vehicle at your facility?

While you can service your vehicle anywhere, our state-of-the-art service center offers specialized expertise in luxury and high-performance vehicles. Our certified technicians use OEM parts and advanced diagnostic equipment. Service history with us also enhances resale value.

What warranty options are available?

New vehicles come with manufacturer warranties. For pre-owned vehicles, we offer extended warranty options covering powertrain, electrical, and mechanical components. Our warranty packages are customizable based on your coverage preferences and budget.

Do you offer loaner vehicles during service?

Yes! Complimentary loaner vehicles are available for warranty work and major services. For routine maintenance, we offer a comfortable lounge with amenities or can provide shuttle service within a 10-mile radius. Reserve your loaner when scheduling service.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

Protection for your investment

What does the manufacturer warranty cover?

Manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for 3-4 years or 36,000-50,000 miles. Powertrain coverage often extends longer, usually 5-10 years or 60,000-100,000 miles. Specific coverage varies by manufacturer. We provide detailed warranty information for each vehicle.

Can I purchase an extended warranty later?

Yes, extended warranties can typically be purchased anytime before your factory warranty expires. However, purchasing at the time of sale often provides better rates and more comprehensive coverage options. Contact our service department to discuss extended warranty options.
