6) It’s time to get your auto loan “outside” the dealership!
Now you’re ready to get the right loan for you. Because you understood your options, on your time, at your pace and in your place, you can save $1,000 you didn’t know you were going to lose in hidden dealer loan fees and markups. Congratulations!
You can get your loan with your local credit union or bank, a lender you already have a relationship with, or one you find online. Just remember, if you go to the dealership without your loan in place, you are leaving yourself vulnerable. When you think about car loans think ‘Outside’ the dealership.
Here’s what you’ll need to be approved for a loan:
Driver’s license or other form of government ID
Your social security number
Proof of address like a recent bank statement or utility bill
Bank statement
Paystub
VIN number of the vehicle you are purchasing
Co-borrower info, if applicable: same as above
Each lender has a different application process, so be sure to check with your lender first.
