The road to getting a car loan doesn't have to be bumpy. Follow these quick and easy vehicle financing tips.
Shop for a loan before you shop for a car
Find a lender that'll work with you before you pick a vehicle. That way you’ll know what you can afford — and on what terms. Choose the right car loan for you and your family.
Opt for a shorter car loan
If you can, choose a car loan with a reasonably short term. Your monthly payments will be higher, but you’ll save a lot on interest, making your vehicle a better deal over the long haul.
Avoid multiple credit checks
Too many credit inquiries can damage your credit, potentially leading to higher interest rates. We'll make sure the lender only does a single pull of your credit history, so you can keep your credit score as high as possible.
Don’t use your credit card to buy a vehicle
Credit cards have many great uses, but purchasing a vehicle isn't one of them. You’ll end up paying more on interest than you need to, and the fees and penalties for late payments can devastate your finances.
