Question 3

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No, we believe in complete transparency. All fees including taxes, registration, documentation fees, and any optional products are clearly disclosed upfront. The price you see is the price you pay, with no surprises at delivery.

Question 4

How long does the entire purchase process take?

Accepted Answer

Most customers complete their purchase in 30-60 minutes online. After that, delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location and the vehicle's availability. Rush delivery may be available for an additional fee.

Question 5

How do I resume my purchase later?

Accepted Answer

If you leave mid-checkout, we'll send you an email and/or text with a resume link. Simply click the link, verify your identity with a quick code, and you'll return exactly where you left off. All your information, selections, and signed documents are saved for 7 days.

Question 6

What credit score do I need to get approved?

Accepted Answer

We work with customers across all credit spectrums. While higher credit scores qualify for better rates, we have financing programs for customers with credit scores as low as 500. We partner with multiple lenders to find the best option for your situation.

Question 7

How much do I need for a down payment?

Accepted Answer

Down payment requirements vary based on the vehicle price, your credit profile, and loan terms. Many customers put down 10-20%, but some programs allow for as little as $0 down. Your trade-in value can also be applied as a down payment.

Question 8

How are monthly payments calculated?

Accepted Answer

Monthly payments are based on the vehicle price, down payment, loan term, interest rate, taxes, and any additional products. Our payment calculator shows you exactly how each factor affects your monthly payment, so you can adjust terms to fit your budget.

Question 9

Finance vs Lease - which is right for me?

Accepted Answer

With financing, you own the car and build equity - great if you plan to keep it long-term or drive lots of miles. With leasing, you pay for the car's depreciation during your term with lower monthly payments, then return it - ideal if you like driving newer cars every few years. Our payment calculator lets you compare both options side by side.

Question 10

Do I have to trade in my current car?

Accepted Answer

No, trading in your current vehicle is completely optional. You can choose to sell it privately, keep it, or trade it in for convenience. The trade-in option is simply there to make your purchase easier and potentially reduce your overall cost.

Question 11

How accurate is the online trade-in valuation?

Accepted Answer

Our valuations use real-time market data and are typically within 5% of the final appraisal. The final value may be adjusted after a physical inspection, but we guarantee our online estimate as a starting point for your trade-in.

Question 12

What if I still owe money on my current car?

Accepted Answer

No problem! If you owe more than the trade-in value, you can roll the difference into your new loan. If the trade-in value is higher than what you owe, the difference will be applied to your new purchase as a credit.

Question 13

Do you deliver to my area?

Accepted Answer

We offer delivery to most metropolitan areas. During checkout, you'll see if delivery is available to your address and any associated fees. If delivery isn't available, you can pick up your vehicle at one of our locations.

Question 14

How much does delivery cost?

Accepted Answer

Delivery within 100 miles of the selling Nalley dealership is free. Beyond 100 miles, we work with our authorized national delivery partner who provides a quote based on distance during checkout. The exact fee is shown before you confirm your delivery option, with no surprises.

Question 15

What is your return policy?

Accepted Answer

Clicklane offers a 10-day or 1,000-mile money-back guarantee — whichever comes first — plus a 30-day exchange policy if you'd rather swap into a different vehicle. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as delivered. Full details and conditions: https://www.clicklane.com/return

Question 16

What should I bring to pickup?

Accepted Answer

Bring your valid driver's license, proof of insurance for the new vehicle, and any remaining payment if applicable. If you have a trade-in, bring that vehicle along with its keys and any spare keys. We'll handle all the paperwork when you arrive.

Question 17

What is GAP insurance and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance covers the difference between what you owe on your loan and what your car insurance pays if your vehicle is totaled or stolen. It's especially recommended if you made a small down payment, have a long loan term, or your vehicle depreciates quickly. Without GAP, you could owe thousands on a car you no longer have.

Question 18

What does an extended warranty cover?

Accepted Answer

Extended warranties (vehicle service contracts) cover mechanical and electrical breakdowns after your factory warranty expires. Coverage levels vary - basic plans cover major components like engine and transmission, while comprehensive plans cover almost everything except wear items. All plans include roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement.

Question 19

What documents do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

You'll need a valid driver's license (front and back photos), proof of insurance for your new vehicle, and potentially proof of income (recent pay stubs or bank statements) depending on your financing. All documents can be uploaded digitally - just make sure photos are clear and all text is readable.

Question 20

Is electronic signature legally binding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, electronic signatures are fully legal and binding under the federal ESIGN Act and state laws. Our e-signature platform uses bank-level security with identity verification, audit trails, and tamper-evident seals. Your signed documents are just as valid as paper signatures.

Question 21

What is the difference between factory warranty and an extended warranty?

Accepted Answer

Your factory warranty comes included from the manufacturer and covers defects for a set time and mileage period that varies by brand. A Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) extends coverage beyond that period, protecting you from expensive mechanical and electrical repairs after the factory warranty expires.

Question 22

Will my progress be saved if I leave checkout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your progress is automatically saved. If you leave, you will receive an email and/or text with a resume link. Click the link, verify your identity with a code, and you will return exactly where you left off. Your information is saved for 7 days.

Question 23

How long does the whole checkout take?

Accepted Answer

Most customers complete the entire Clicklane checkout in 30 to 60 minutes. The credit decision is usually instant. Document upload and contract signing take about 10 to 15 minutes each. If you need to pause, your progress is saved and you can resume anytime within 7 days.

Question 24

Can I get approved with a 500 credit score?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nalley works with lenders who finance customers across all credit spectrums, including scores as low as 500. Your rate and terms will reflect your credit profile, but approval is possible. A co-signer or larger down payment can improve your terms.

Question 25

I'm a first-time buyer with no credit history. Can I get financed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have first-time buyer programs designed for customers with limited or no credit history. A steady income and proof of employment strengthen your application. Adding a co-signer with established credit can help you qualify for better rates.

Question 26

How can I improve my chances of getting approved?

Accepted Answer

Several factors improve approval chances: a larger down payment reduces the lender's risk, adding a co-signer with good credit strengthens the application, choosing a less expensive vehicle lowers the loan amount, and providing complete and accurate employment and income information speeds the decision.
