Your out-the-door (OTD) price is what you actually pay-no hidden surprises.

**What's included.** Your OTD price covers the vehicle's base price, any add-ons or upgrades, destination charges, taxes, title, registration, and any dealer fees. Our team breaks down each line so you know exactly where your money goes.

**Current offers.** We regularly run promotions on Chevrolet models-rebates, incentives, and special financing rates. These lower your OTD price. Call (630) 279-5200 to ask about what's available right now.

**Trade-in credit.** If you're trading in a vehicle, that amount is subtracted from your OTD price, reducing what you owe.

**Transparency first.** We show you the numbers upfront. No surprises at signing. If something doesn't make sense, ask-our finance team is here to explain.

**Negotiation.** There's room to discuss pricing, financing terms, and add-ons. We want you to feel good about your deal.

When you're ready to move forward, our team will sit down with you and walk through every detail. Call us or visit castlechevycars.com to get started.
