While requirements can vary slightly between lenders, it is a good idea to have the following items ready: a valid driver's license, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs), proof of residence (like a utility bill), and proof of auto insurance. Having these on hand can help expedite the approval process significantly.
There is no single required amount for a down payment, and in some cases, a zero-down option may be available. However, providing a down payment is highly recommended. It can lower your monthly payments, reduce the total interest you pay, and increase your chances of loan approval, especially if you have challenged credit.
No, our online pre-qualification process uses a "soft pull" on your credit. This allows us to assess your creditworthiness and find potential loan options for you without it appearing as a hard inquiry on your credit report. A hard inquiry only occurs when you formally apply for a specific loan.
Yes, you can. This is a very common situation. We will appraise your vehicle and determine its current market value. We then contact your current lender to get the payoff amount. The value of your trade-in is applied to the outstanding loan balance. If there is positive equity, that amount goes toward your new purchase. If there is negative equity, it can often be rolled into your new loan.
When you finance a vehicle, you are taking out a loan to purchase it, and you own it outright once the loan is paid off. Leasing is essentially a long-term rental; you pay to use the vehicle for a set period and typically have lower monthly payments.
