User Guide to Auto Loans FAQ
Getting pre-approved for an auto loan before you start shopping for a car can offer several advantages:

  • Set Realistic Expectations: Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can afford to spend. This helps you set a realistic budget and avoid looking at cars that are out of your price range.
  • Confidence in Negotiations: With a pre-approval in hand, you can negotiate with confidence, knowing exactly how much you can spend. You can narrow down your options to vehicles that fit within your pre-approved loan amount, saving you time and effort.
  • Focus on Price, Not Financing: Dealers are less likely to pressure you into their financing options, allowing you to focus on getting the best price for the car.
  • Streamlined Buying Process: Pre-approval speeds up the buying process since you have already completed much of the financing paperwork.
  • Less Stress: Knowing your financing is secured reduces the stress of buying a car and allows you to focus on selecting the right vehicle.
  • Prevent Bait and Switch: Dealers sometimes advertise low rates to lure customers in, only to offer higher rates later. Pre-approval ensures you are not caught in such tactics.
  • Impact on Credit Score: Getting pre-approved usually involves a single hard inquiry on your credit report. If you apply for multiple loans within a short period, it is treated as a single inquiry, minimizing the impact on your credit score.
  • Clarity on Loan Terms: Pre-approval gives you a clear understanding of the loan terms, including interest rate, loan term and monthly payments.
There are a few ways refinancing your auto loan can save you money:

  • Lower Interest Rate: If interest rates have dropped since you took out your original loan or your credit score has improved, you might qualify for a lower interest rate. This can reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.
  • Reduced Monthly Payments: By securing a lower interest rate or extending the loan term, your monthly payments could decrease, freeing up cash for other expenses.
  • Shorter Loan Term: Refinancing to a shorter loan term can increase your monthly payments but reduce the total amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan, leading to overall savings.
  • Lower Total Interest Paid: Even if your monthly payments stay the same, a lower interest rate can reduce the total amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.
  • Improved Cash Flow: If you extend the term of your loan, you can lower your monthly payments, which can improve your cash flow. However, be aware that extending the term may increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
There are a few ways refinancing your auto loan can save you money:

Determining your auto loan payment depends on a few key factors: the amount of money you want to borrow, the loan term (how long the payback period is) and your interest rate.

Auto loan terms typically range from 24 all the way to 84 months. The shorter the term, the less interest you’ll pay, but you’ll also have a higher monthly payment. When you choose a longer loan term, you’ll end up paying more in interest, but your monthly payment will be less—sometimes much less.
