Overview
An in-person order lets you browse vehicles online and submit a purchase request, but you must visit in person to complete the transaction. This option is for buyers who prefer traditional in-person purchasing or for vehicles that require an in-person visit to finalize.How it works
In-person orders serve as a bridge between online browsing and traditional in-person purchasing. You can research and select vehicles online, then complete your purchase in person.Online interest, in-person purchase
With in-person orders:- Browse available inventory online
- Select the vehicle you’re interested in
- Submit your contact information and purchase interest
- You’ll be contacted to schedule a visit
- Complete purchase in person
Used vehicles and state eligibility
For some used vehicles, online purchasing may not be available in your state. When this applies, checkout automatically shows only the Buy in person at a dealership option. Other payment methods are not available for that vehicle. If you see only the in-person option during checkout for a used vehicle, it means your registration state does not currently support online used vehicle sales from that dealership. You can still submit your purchase interest and the dealership will contact you to complete the transaction in person.In-Person vs. Online Orders
In-Person Orders:- Cannot complete purchase entirely online
- Must visit in person for transaction
