I have a car I want to trade in. I still owe some money on it and I am pretty sure I will have to take some proof of residency or whatever like a phone bill or somethin. I have a cell phone bill but I snuck my friend on it and my dad is goin with me to get the car and I don't want him knowin she is on my bill (he is real funny about that stuff). I don't really have any other "bills" that come in my name. I mean i have like a bank statement, a bill from magazine subscriptions, etc. Can I take those? Or if I take my phone bill will they even say anything about having that 2nd line on there? Any information would be greatly appreciated as to what I can take to get by with it. Thanks in advanced!

You can't just "trade in a car" if you owe money on it and i don't know what you need a cell phone bill for. what you need is the TITLE for the car - which if you owe money on it the bank/finance company will have a lien on the title and probably has possession of the title - until you pay off the loan - then they release the lien and give you the title. if you are trading it in to a dealer for another car - usually the dealer will handle all that by paying off your loan and getting the title for them and crediting any left over value against the new car. of course if you are financing the new car they will want to know where to find you - and the car - in case you don't make the payments. .

You don't need proof of residency to buy a car.
