How do I get a good interest rate?
Car loan interest rates vary and change all the time. However, most rates are contingent on credit history.
How much of a down payment do I need to finance a car?
Money down is up to the customer. Money down is always a great thing to keep your monthly payment as low as possible.
What additional costs will I be responsible for when buying a new car?
Standard dealer fees apply when purchasing a new or used vehicle. These fees include sales tax, motor vehicle, documentation and other fees.
How can I find the value of my trade-in?
Call the dealership to set up a free-of-charge vehicle inspection. You can also value your trade!
Does my credit score impact my loan rate?
Yes -- to put it simply.
I have a low credit score -- can I still finance a car?
Yes! Having a low credit score does not automatically disqualify you from getting a loan for a vehicle.
I don't have a credit history yet -- can I still finance a car?
Many auto banks have first-time buyers' programs available. Most of these programs will require proof of income.
Can I reduce my monthly car payments down the road?
If you make your payments on time, you can always trade in your vehicle for a lower monthly payment.
Can I sell my car while I'm still paying it off?
Yes, as long as the purchase price covers your remaining auto loan balance.
Can I add a warranty when I buy a car?
Yes! Your F&I representatives will discuss the extended warranty options available to you at the time of purchase.
