Vehicle Finance Loans

New Vehicle Finance: Dealership or Your Own Bank?
By Carrie Reeder

There are so many options when it comes to financing a new vehicle. Should a person secure financing ahead of time, or get financed through the dealership? If a person uses their own lender, should they pick out the vehicle first and then apply for the loan, or vice versa? This article will offer suggestions on who to obtain financing through.

Obtaining Financing First

Using a lending institution beforehand to get financing approved is a smart move
for many reasons. First of all, an approved loan will let the buyer know how
much they can afford and what sort of monthly payments they can anticipate.
There is also the negotiating factor; a person waving a check around will likely
be welcomed eagerly by the dealership since the buyer is obviously serious about
purchasing a car.

Waiting To Obtain Financing

There are times, however, when the dealership can offer lower interest rates.
Special promotion financing can, in fact, be lower than that of a bank or credit
union, although not everyone qualifies for these offers. Sometimes dealers will
be able to secure a better rate than what a buyer has already been approved for
through another lender. Dealerships work with many lenders and have the ability,
on occasion, to greet a buyer back from a test drive with a lower rate. Since a
pre-approved loan agreement from a bank or credit union is not valid until a car
has been purchased, it is perfectly acceptable to not use the loan that was
secured beforehand in a situation like this.

Shop Online

Another option to consider when searching for auto loan financing is to shop for
loans online. Many websites will even allow you to compare loan terms side by
side.
