Step 1
Gather required documents and information
- Contact information for applicant and co-applicant (phone number and email)

If you’ve already picked out the vehicle you wish to buy, we’ll also need:
- the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- the state where you’ll register the vehicle
- the exact mileage
- the dealer or seller's name
