What To Bring To The Dealership
What to Bring to the Dealership When You’re Ready to Buy or Lease a New Car in Gainesville, FL
When Gettel Toyota Gainesville opened in 1994, our top priority was our customers — and it still is. Our community is the backbone of everything we do, and it’s the reason our dealership is what it is today. To help our guests through the car buying and leasing process, we’ve put together steps they can take to save time at the dealership.
Step one is to find the car you want. If you’ve already done that, you’re one step closer to driving off with a new ride. If not, that’s where we can help. We have a vast inventory of new and used vehicles that you can browse directly through our website. When you find your dream car (and we know you will), you can save even more time by getting pre-approved for financing on our website too. Finally, there are several different types of documents you’ll need to bring to the dealership when you’re ready to sign off on the purchase or lease of your new car. Here’s a list of those documents to help you prepare. We encourage you to save it on your phone or laptop, or print the checklist below!
What To Bring
Your Driver’s License
Proof of Car Insurance
Proof of Income
Method of Payment
Your Social Security Number

What to Pay Attention to During Your Test Drive
An important step in the buying and leasing process is test-driving your (potential) new vehicle! Before you even get behind the wheel of the car you desire, think about what you want your new ride to offer you. Are there any specific features you’re looking for? How do you want it to drive? And what are your lifestyle needs? While all Toyota models are designed to be reliable, safe and sleek, they’re still very different from each other. For example, if you need a workhorse or you’re into off-roading, your needs in a new car may be different than someone who lives and works in the city. Keep all this in mind when you’re test-driving your intended model.
If you have questions at any point in the buying or leasing process, please be sure to ask us! We’re here to find you your dream car, so the more questions you ask, the better we’ll be able to help you.
