Searching for car dealerships open on Sunday in Staten Island? iDeal Auto Sales of Staten Island is open every Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM at 2083 Hylan Blvd. Sunday is often the only day a busy family can test drive, compare cars, and talk numbers without rushing. This guide covers our full hours, the rules for buying a car on a Sunday in New York and New Jersey, and how to get the most out of a Sunday visit.
Is iDeal Auto Sales Open on Sunday?
Yes. Our Staten Island dealership is open seven days a week, including Sundays. Here are our current hours:
- Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Sunday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Sunday hours are shorter than the rest of the week, so plan to arrive earlier in the day if you want time for a test drive, a trade-in appraisal, and paperwork. You can always confirm hours or directions on our locations page.
Are Car Dealerships Open on Sunday in New York?
New York has no statewide ban on selling cars on Sunday. As a result, a New York dealership can legally sell you a car any day of the week. However, many dealers still choose to close on Sundays or open for only a few hours. That is why “dealers open on Sunday” is such a common search: it pays to check before you drive over.
Our lot is on Hylan Boulevard, so it is an easy trip from anywhere on the South Shore, Mid-Island, or North Shore. Additionally, it is only a short drive from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge for shoppers coming from Brooklyn.
Can You Buy a Car on Sunday in New Jersey?
No. New Jersey’s “blue law” makes it an offense to sell motor vehicles on a Sunday, so car dealerships there stay closed. You can read the statute yourself: N.J.S.A. 2C:33-26.
For many New Jersey drivers, Staten Island is the closest place to shop on a Sunday. Three bridges connect the island to New Jersey: the Goethals Bridge from Elizabeth, the Bayonne Bridge from Bayonne, and the Outerbridge Crossing from Perth Amboy. Because of that, a Sunday trip from Union, Hudson, or Middlesex County is often shorter than people expect.
If you live in New Jersey and buy from a New York dealer, ask us how registration and sales tax will work for your situation before you sign. Rules depend on where the car will be registered, so we will walk you through it.
What You Can Get Done on a Sunday Visit
A Sunday visit is a great time to make real progress on your next car. Here is what you can do when you stop by:
- Browse and test drive. See our used car inventory in person and take your top picks for a drive.
- Get a trade-in value. Bring your current car and we will appraise it. You can also start online with our trade-in value tool.
- Apply for financing. Fill out a credit application before or during your visit. Our finance team works with multiple lenders, including options for buyers with bad credit.
- Compare payment options. Talk through down payment, term length, and monthly budget with a salesperson.
Some steps can depend on outside businesses that keep weekday hours, such as a lender’s final review or your insurance company. In that case, you can still choose your car and finish the remaining details early in the week. Just ask us what to expect when you arrive.
6 Tips for Buying a Car on a Sunday
1. Arrive Early
We close at 3 PM on Sundays. Coming in the morning gives you time to test drive more than one car without feeling rushed.
2. Shop Online First
Narrow your list on our website before you visit. Then call ahead so we can have your top choices ready to drive.
3. Get Pre-Approved
Submitting a credit application on Saturday or Sunday morning means you will know your options before you sit down. You can read more on our car financing in Staten Island page.
4. Bring the Right Documents
Bring your driver’s license and proof of insurance. If you plan to finance, also bring recent proof of income and proof of address.
5. Have Your Trade-In Details Ready
Bring your title, or your lender’s name and account number if you still owe money on the car. Also bring every key and remote you have.
6. Line Up Insurance
You need coverage before you drive a car off the lot. Many insurers let you add a vehicle online or by phone on weekends, so set this up in advance.
