Answers about buying, financing, and trading in at Gateway Auto Sales

Here are answers to the questions we hear most from Omaha-area shoppers. Don't see yours? Contact us and our team will be happy to help.

Will you find a specific vehicle for me?

Yes. If the vehicle you want isn't available locally, we can locate it and have it transported to us. We'll go over pricing, including transportation and any required services, before anything is secured. If you're financing, we complete the credit application first, and a deposit may be required at that point. Start with our Car Finder service.

Which Gateway location are the cars for sale located at?

Our entire inventory is located here at the 108th & L sales location.

Do you have financing?

Yes, we have over 30 lenders to help all levels of credit.

Do you take trade-ins?

Yes, we have a fast and convenient trade-in process that gives you top dollar to put toward your new car, truck, van or SUV.

Do you service the cars you sell?

Yes! Unlike other used car dealers, we have full-service auto body and mechanical repair centers as well. That means our cars get extra love before they're sold to you, and that you have a place you can trust to take care of them down the road.

Do you sell salvage title cars?

While rare, if we have a rebuilt or salvage title vehicle for sale - it will be clear and communicated.

What is your documentation fee?

Our documentation fee is $199, and there are no other dealer fees. Beyond that, you'll only pay tax, title, and plates.

Do you offer extended warranties?

Yes. We offer affordable warranties tailored to your needs, ranging from powertrain-only coverage to complete vehicle coverage.

Can I have a vehicle inspected by my own mechanic before I buy?

Yes. Just ask our staff for a pre-sale inspection, and we'll let you take the vehicle to your mechanic. We'll confirm a time that works for both your service center and our sales team, and the cost of the inspection is yours.

Do you have a return or exchange policy?

All sales are final. That's why we encourage a test drive and, if you'd like, a pre-sale inspection by your own mechanic before you buy.

How much do I need for a down payment?

We help customers with as little as $0 down. We recommend about 10% down, depending on your credit situation.

Do you work with first-time buyers or buyers with little or no credit?

Yes. We help first-time buyers every day, with or without a co-signer. Every situation is different, so we just need your details to map out the next steps toward an approval.

Can I use a co-signer?

Yes. A co-signer is welcome but not required. We work with first-time and limited-credit buyers both with and without one.

Will my auto loan help me build credit?

Yes. All of the lenders we work with report to the credit bureaus, so your on-time payments help build your credit.

Do you offer GAP insurance?

Yes. We offer Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance. It can be especially valuable if you're putting little or nothing down or carrying negative equity.

How long is your trade-in or purchase offer good for?

Our trade-in and purchase offers are valid for 5 days.

Will you buy my car even if I don't buy one from you?

Yes. We'll buy your car outright, and our offer is good for 5 days whether or not you buy a vehicle from us.

Can I trade in or sell a car I still owe money on?

Yes. We pay off your open loan to secure the title. Bring your current payoff information, including the payoff date and your loan account number.
