Financing a pre-owned car, truck, or SUV doesn’t have to be difficult. If you work with the right finance team and follow these tips it can be a piece of cake.
Tip 1: Apply for Preapproval
The first thing you can do to make the used car financing process easier is to get preapproval before you start shopping. Pre-approval with an auto-loan provider isn’t a guaranteed agreement but it gives you a very close estimate of how much you can spend, what your interest rates will be, and what you can afford.
You can get preapproval in five easy steps here.
Tip 2: Consider Trading in Your Vehicle
There are ways you can lower the amount you plan to finance. You can offer a larger down payment if you have the funds but you don’t have to spend a lot of time-saving up for a huge down payment. If you have a current vehicle that you’re willing to trade in, you can maximize your buying power by using your old car’s value to pay down the cost of a newer model. If you want to see how trading in your old vehicle can help you, check the value of your trade using our online tool.
Tip 3: Avoid Long Financing Terms
Many creditors now offer six or even seven-year terms for auto loans. Generally, that means paying less each month on your car loan, which is great in the short term. However, over time you’ll find that you are paying significantly more in interest.
