Credit requirements vary depending on the loan amount, vehicle type, and your overall financial situation. Even if your credit is less than perfect, our lenders may still be able to help you explore financing options. We look beyond the numbers and take the time to understand your needs.

Yes. Pre-approval can help you understand your budget and shop with more confidence. It can also make the buying process easier because you will have a clearer idea of what you can afford before you visit the dealership.

Yes. We finance both new and used vehicles, including private party purchases in many cases. Our lenders can help you understand what information is needed and walk you through the loan process.

Loan terms vary based on the vehicle, loan amount, and qualifications. Our lenders will help you compare available options and choose a payment plan that fits your budget. A longer term may lower your monthly payment, while a shorter term may help reduce total interest paid.

Refinancing may help lower your monthly payment or reduce the total interest paid over the life of the loan. It may be a good option if rates have changed, your credit has improved, or your current loan no longer fits your budget. Our team can review your current loan and help you decide if refinancing makes sense.

The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the money. The Annual Percentage Rate, or APR, includes the interest rate plus certain required lender fees. APR can give you a clearer picture of the total cost of the loan.

A longer loan term usually means a lower monthly payment. However, it may also increase the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. A shorter term may cost more each month, but it can help you pay less interest overall.

You may need a valid driver’s license, proof of income, and proof of residence. This could include recent pay stubs, bank statements, or a utility bill. Our lenders will let you know exactly what is needed for your application.
