What are my financing options?
You can finance through a bank, credit union, or the dealership. Banks and credit unions often offer competitive rates, especially if you have an existing relationship. Dealerships may offer promotional rates or incentives.
Which is best for me?
Compare offers from all three sources. Credit unions often offer the lowest rates. Dealerships may offer 0% financing promotions. Get pre-approved from a bank or credit union before visiting a dealership to strengthen your negotiating position.
How do I compare offers?
Compare the annual percentage rate (APR), loan term, and total cost. Consider any fees and incentives. Use the same loan amount and term to compare offers fairly.
