How to purchase your vehicle from out of state
Find the right vehicle online
Browse our current used vehicle selection and compare the options that fit your needs. Available listings may include detailed photos, key features, Carfax information, and CarGurus pricing insights to help you shop with greater confidence.
Get the details before you travel
Once a vehicle catches your attention, reach out to our team for a closer look. We can confirm availability, answer questions about its history and condition, and provide additional information, photos, or video when available.
Understand your purchase options
Before you commit, we will help you review the numbers and available financing solutions. Vehicle pricing and fees are presented clearly, including our separately itemized $249.95 documentation fee.
- Upfront vehicle pricing
- Itemized $249.95 documentation fee
- Financing options for qualified buyers
- Capital One financing resources
You can begin exploring your financing options before arriving at the dealership, giving you more time to prepare and fewer details to handle during your visit.
Prepare for taxes and registration
Out-of-state purchases can involve different tax and registration requirements. Applicable local tax is collected and documented as part of the transaction, helping show what has already been paid when you register the vehicle in your home state.
Because requirements vary by location and individual circumstances, our team will review the process with you before the purchase is completed.
Decide how your vehicle gets home
You can arrange to pick up your vehicle at our Valparaiso dealership or hire an independent transportation provider. Shipping arrangements remain the buyer’s responsibility, but our team can help coordinate the vehicle’s availability and pickup timing.
- Scheduled pickup at the dealership
- Transportation arranged by the buyer
- Third-party services such as uShip
- Local vehicle haulers selected by the buyer
Please speak with us before scheduling transportation so the purchase and pickup details can be confirmed with everyone involved.
