Your out-the-door (OTD) price is the true total cost-what you actually pay to drive the car home.

**What's Included**
OTD includes the vehicle price, any manufacturer incentives or current dealer offers, destination and delivery, registration and title fees, taxes, and documentation fees. It's the bottom-line number.

**Breaking It Down**
Our team provides an itemized breakdown so you see every component. This transparency means no hidden charges or last-minute surprises at signing.

**How Offers Work**
Current manufacturer incentives and dealer offers change regularly-check **castlekiamchenry.com** or call (815) 453-8566 to learn what's available right now on your chosen model.

**Your Down Payment & Trade-In**
Your down payment and trade-in value reduce the amount you finance. A larger down payment lowers your monthly payment and total interest paid over time.

**Financing Terms**
Once you've approved the OTD price and your loan terms, you're all set. Our Finance team ensures you understand your interest rate, loan period, and exact monthly payment before paperwork is signed.
