While finding the right Chevy van may be the hard part, once the sale is final, there is still some work to be done. Here are four tasks you don’t want to forget about.
Making Insurance Arrangements
Leaving the dealership without insurance coverage for your van is a huge mistake, so you must talk to your insurance company. If you let collision coverage lapse on your old car or don’t have GAP insurance, it’s best to speak to your insurance agent to ensure proper coverage. Your lease or finance agreement may also require specific coverage, which we’ll help you navigate.
Getting Proof of Ownership
Another thing that’s very important before driving away from the dealership is to get proof that you own the car. If you’re paying for the van in full, this includes the bill of sale and car title. If you finance, you won’t get the title until your loan is paid off.
Registering with the DMV
You will have to visit your local DMV to register your van before your temporary tags expire, usually within 30 days of your purchase. This is a simple and straightforward process involving your proof of ownership and insurance information.
Think About Service
Whether buying a van for your family or business, you will probably be racking up the miles quickly. This is why even if it’s in pristine condition, you should still consider making a service appointment that covers essential maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations, so your van lasts as long as it was designed to.
