Make It Yours

Upload Key Documents

Take a photo of your driver’s license and proof of insurance to verify your identity. Our Car Specialist will request these when they give you a call and will provide an easy upload link. Depending on your financing, you may be asked to confirm other details.

Place a Deposit

With a refundable deposit from you, we’ll hold your vehicle for 24 hours. This ensures no one else can buy the vehicle while you finalize the contract details. The deposit amount may vary by vehicle.

Sign Here

We will either overnight your paperwork for signature or email to you for e-signature (dependent on the requirements of your purchase). Review carefully, sign where noted and return/complete your paperwork within 24 hours. Once we’ve got it, we’ll confirm it looks good and then the car will be yours.

With your signed and approved paperwork and deposit, we give your car one last inspection and book it for delivery. Once it’s on the road to you, our Delivery Support Team will be in touch with regular updates.

Your vehicle will typically arrive within 10-14 days of purchase, though sometimes it can take longer. We ship your car right to your home, or to a convenient nearby location.

More About Delivery

Check for Temp Tags

Your car arrives with temporary tags allowing you to drive the vehicle immediately. You’ll receive an email with details about titling and registration upon delivery. If you financed your vehicle with Vroom, we file your DMV paperwork for you.

Take It for a Spin...Or Two

To get to know your car, it takes more than a trip around the block. You have a full week (7 days or 250 miles) to make sure it’s right for you. If it’s not, we’ll take it back and refund the purchase price.
