So it took 11 days from BS to MD. This is the stage I’m at now. Day 16 hoping to get a email saying it arrived.
@4th RAM can you tell me all the paper or information they needed or asked for so I can have all this ready to go please.
Here are the things I can think of, there weren't many:
The very first thing I had to do was to fill out the financing documents. You know, they ask all of those questions I can't remember the answers to: When did you buy your current house? How much do you make per year? How long have you worked there? You'll need to have that sort of information available.
You'll need to unlock your credit if you are applying for financing and you keep it locked. I'd wait until the truck arrives to do this. To be sure, I unlocked all 3 credit agencies for a week.
After you fill out the credit application, they'll send you the final documents for signature via Docusign. I read them carefully to make sure I didn't mess up on the credit application anywhere. I did have to ask for one minor change due to a mistake I made.
The docs will include the wiring info. I printed that, and I also printed the bill of sale that listed my down payment amount, and I headed to the bank (after my check had cleared for the sale of other truck). It is advised that you make an appointment, and my bank said that all funds had to be in a single account to be able to wire them. My bank sent a same-day wire, which was a surprise. At work, our ACH's don't clear until the next day, only FedWires do. They said it was an ACH, but it did go out same-day. They also stopped doing wires early at like 3pm or 4pm, so plan ahead.
I had to get a "binder" for car insurance. I may be saying that incorrectly. I needed to have a policy on the new vehicle that included the VIN number and certain thresholds of deductibles. My deductibles were much lower than the threshold, so that was not a big deal. My insurance company did it same day once I insisted on a binder. I sent the pdf to the finance guy, and the next day, MD called me to discuss shipping.
I also asked for and received videos of the truck.
