Will you ship me the vehicle?
Knauz BMW can assist you in finding a vehicle carrier to deliver your vehicle to you.
What are the pricing and incentives?
The prices for new vehicles advertised on our website and
other media reflect all applicable BMW incentives for residents of the Chicagoland region. BMW may offer different incentives based on your home address;
therefore, pricing may vary.
Taxes and Paperwork.
We make handling paperwork a
breeze, with much of it available online and our team ready to assist you in
quickly gathering any additional documents you may need. No matter where you
purchase your BMW, you are required to pay the sales tax in your home state. At
Knauz BMW, we streamline this process by providing you with precise information
regarding the sales tax for out-of-state purchases. Rest
assured, we will collect the necessary sales tax and send it directly to your
home state's tax collector, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.
What should I do if my state requires the vehicle to be inspected at its DMV or Emissions Test Facility?
In these situations, we cannot complete a vehicle sale for a vehicle with a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, or for vehicles that are being financed or leased. Please reach out to one of our sales consultants for more information regarding your state's requirements and restrictions.
What about additional fees charged by my state?
Some states do not provide us with amounts for local, city, county, or state fees, as well as sales tax, ad valorem tax, or use tax. We will do our best to estimate the costs for titling and registering your vehicle in your home state, but additional fees and documents may be required. Please assist us in gathering the necessary documents and fees before we can deliver your vehicle.
Can I finance through my bank or credit union?
Drafts, letters of credit, or funds on hold will not be
accepted for out-of-state incentives. However, we are happy to assist you with
financing options.
Can I manage my own title and registration?
No, our manufacturers and lenders require that the
dealership provide proof of registration and a lien record. BMW mandates that
the proof of registration matches any incentives received. Some states require a vehicle emissions inspection before they will title and register the vehicle. If your state does not have such inspection requirements, the process will be simpler.
What about insurance?
Regarding insurance, please ensure
that you provide coverage specific to your state and vehicle identification
number (VIN). Additionally, a valid driver's license or proof of identity as
mandated by your state is required. If you are transferring a license plate, a
copy of your state registration will also be necessary. It is important that
all documents reflect the addresses associated with your new registration and
our buyer's orders to facilitate a seamless experience.
