At Gunter’s Mercedes Sales & Service, we are here to make purchasing your vehicle as easy as possible. We partnered with some of the leading financing institutions to make that happen. Please, apply directly with the following institutions. If you are a SC Resident , we highly encourage you to become a member at your local credit union for your lowest interest rate.

   Please note that there is a $300.00 documentation fee for any vehicle sold which will accompany all pertinent  forms required for processing your vehicle at MVA. In addiiton, if you are a SC resident, any vehicle sold over $5,000.00 has a $300.00 sales tax (maximum cap rate) which will be sent to Columbia for processing.  Any vehicle of lesser value will require a sales tax collection of only 5%. For residents outside of the SC region, No SALES TAX will be collected from our dealership. It is therefore payable at your local state MVA.

    In some instances we do offer Buy Here/Pay Here (On the lot Financing) which is a little less than typical in that we require 40% -50% down on certain vehicles that we have had in stock for a lenghthy period of time. We require the lofty amount down so that the finance period does not exceed 12-18 months, at an interest rate of 18%. 

             NECESSARY ITEMS REQUIRED FROM THE CUSTOMER(S) WHO IS REQUESTING OUTSIDE FINANCING:
