How to buy a car
-
Get prequalified: Feel confident before you start car shopping by knowing how much you are preapproved for. When your auto loan1 application is reviewed, we also consider other expenses when financing a vehicle, such as car insurance and rent or a mortgage loan payment.
-
Start shopping: Consider your wants vs. your needs in a new or used car when you start shopping, such as the number of seats and safety features. It will help narrow down your search while at the dealership or when searching online.
-
Consider extra add-ons: Think about extra add-ons with your car purchase, such as an extended warranty or Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance and others that can be financed with your auto loan.
-
Read closely: Thoroughly review your auto financing terms before signing the paperwork. Once you have come to an agreement and signed all of the paperwork, be sure to contact your car insurance company to add your new vehicle to your policy.
-
Enjoy the ride: Get where you need to go knowing that you made the right choices during your car purchase.
