A step-by-step walkthrough of buying, financing and taking delivery of a pre-owned vehicle entirely online.

Buying a car online is now the norm rather than the exception. Here is how the process works at Advantage Auto Sales, start to finish.

1. Shortlist the right vehicles Use the inventory filters to narrow by budget, body style, mileage and fuel type. Save the vehicles you like so you can compare them side by side later.

2. Review the details Every listing includes full specifications, photo documentation and a pre-sale checklist report you can open and read before you commit.

3. Ask questions Send an inquiry from the vehicle page. Our team answers with additional photos, walkaround video or anything else you need.

4. Arrange financing Submit a finance application online. You will receive terms to review before anything is signed.

5. Paperwork and delivery Contracts are signed electronically, and your vehicle ships by enclosed transport. Track every stage of the delivery with your order number.
