Auto or Car Loan
By Terje Ellingsen

An auto or car loan is necessary for most people when they buy
a new or used vehicle. Shopping for a car loan can be done many
places today, including online. Many companies send you a check
for the loan amount and you can simply make this check payable
to the auto dealer or car seller. This is all you have to do to
get the keys to your new or used car.

There are some lending companies that are really doing their
best to offer you a great auto loan. Good lenders always have a
friendly and professional customer service, regardless of your
credit rating. Be aware though that the best rates are for
customers with a high credit score. Wherever you apply for a
loan, it is subject to credit approval, which means that your
credit rate will be checked.

Many companies offer an introductory annual percentage rate,
which are changed after 30 or 45 days. However, what you should
look for is the long term interest rate, because this is the
basis of comparisons between offers from different vehicle loan
lenders. You should choose the lender with the lowest annual
percentage interest rate, all other conditions equal.

Another thing to look for in addition to the interest rate is
if and which fees are associated with your auto loan. Many
credit companies add lots of different types of loan fees like
payment fees, annual fees, penalties, etc. These fees should
also be included in the basis you use for comparing lenders. If
the interest rate is low but are eaten up by layers of fees, you
have to look closer at the offer. In all circumstances it is the
total cost of the loan you should compare because this is what
you pay for it.

Once you submit your car loan application online, it will be
reviewed by the lending company and you will receive a response
within a few minutes during business hours. If you apply during
non-business hours, your loan application will normally be
processed the next business day. It's really easy to shop a car
loan on the internet.
