Is betther to get a auto loan from a bank or from the dealer?

It is best to INQUIRE about interest rates with YOUR available lenders BEFORE you go to a dealer.



That way you already know what the HIGHest interest rate that you can get is



More often than not, dealers have many more lender sources than you %26amp; can often beat the interest rates that you can acquire on your own.



If the dealer can't meet or beat the rate you get on your own...than that rate is now becomes the LOWest.



And if it is a brand new vehicle or a certified used vehicle at a new car dealers lot....often the manufacturer will subsidize the loan %26amp; give superlow interest rates or 0% interest rates.



NONE of your lenders will offer that! (unless, of course, you have a personal loan with a rich relative...LOL )

Banks are usually better than Dealers, Credit Unions are better than Banks. Grandad, is the best terms ever!

Ditto to above. But you have to shop around. Not all banks are better, etc. And I never knew my grand daddy.

Depends on interest rates but I think probably your bank, look into how much interest you would have to pay back and if fixed rate. If you can hold off and save up for a second hand car much better in long run and no debt :)

The answer to this question is not as straight forward as you might think. There are a lot of variables to consider.



-If you qualify for a special promotional rate you can閳ユ獩 beat the dealer. The 0%, 1.9% and so forth rates even beat paying cash as you can make more interest on the money than you are paying as you go along. Same for some cash back deals, they reduce the effective interest rate by taking money out of the cost up front, kind of like reverse points on the loan.



-The dealer will have a lot of choices for you to consider and will be aware of just about all of the lending companies that are around across the nation. Shop with them, check with your bank or credit union and compare with offers through the dealer. You always get a better deal when you shop.



-If you have very poor or no credit, you may be stuck with the loan offer from a dealer. But be aware, many independent used car dealers that provide loans will have very high interest rates and will repossess a car in an instant. A lot get the money they have in the car back with the down payment and the loan is their profit. In this case, keep the loan small and make sure it is easy to pay back. This will help build your credit history and make it easer to get a better loan the next time.



-This is just a start, do your homework and make sure that you are getting the best deal that you can.

If you have good credit, shop around, and tell each other that you are shopping around, as they usually will compete with each other to get your business.



If you have bad credit, usually the dealer will have better programs to help rebuild it.

dealers deal directly with hte banks most of the time. you can get a pre approved loan if you like from your own bank so you know how much you have available. then you can haggle with confidence.

How long do you have to be apart of a credit union till you can get a auto loan with the good rate?

I am a member of SECU. Thanks

1 day. its about your credit score, not your membership.

let it burn



How long do you have to be apart of a credit union till you can get a auto loan with the good rate?

A person can apply for loans or credit cards at the same time that they sign up for membership with a credit union.

I've been a member of my credit union for three years, loans are based on your credit.

Can anyone tell me how I can go about trading my car in that I have an auto loan on.?

I currently have a 2004 Impala and need a Dodge Durango 2004 and up.



Can anyone tell me how I can go about trading my car in that I have an auto loan on.?

You could get approved for a loan for the Durango and factor in the amount that you still owe on the Impala on that loan, and then trade in the Impala against the new Durango. It'll bring the purchase price of the Durango down a bit too if you trade in the Impala.



Or if you had a credit line or something of the sort you could pay off the remaining amount that you owe on the Impala so that the lien is removed against the Impala and you get the title to it and then sell it privately and put that money towards the Durango loan you'll get.



You might be able to get more for the Impala if you're able to sell it privately rather then try a trade-in against the Durango.



I wouldn't be able to consciously tell you all of this unless I told you this as well.. what you are doing is not really the best thing here. The Durango is going to depreciate fast enough the way it is. If you have to include the remaining amount that you owe on the Impala in with the Durango on a loan it'll be years and years before you'll break even - in others you'll be 'upside down' on your Durango loan. You better plan on keeping the Durango for a heck of a long time. Good luck.



Can anyone tell me how I can go about trading my car in that I have an auto loan on.?

Legally, you can't sell a car that you have a lien against. You have no way of giving the title to the purchaser. When you are in this situation, you're usually stuck with trading in the vehicle. That way, the dealer pays off the old loan and gets you into the vehicle you want.



The only other way is to pay off the loan you have so you can get the title, sell the Impala, then buy the durango.

Can a retired person without a regular income but good credit get a auto loan?

A car is deemed a necessity, so it is easier to get a loan than it would be for something like a Motor home which is considered a luxury. Buy Here-Pay Here is an option on the east coast, I haven't seen them on the left coast. You will usually have a much higher interest rate.



What do you think is good credit? Do you have a recent history of paying on time? That helps a lot. Can you do 20% down to show you are invested in the loan? Do you have a personal relationship/account with a credit union? That might be a better place to start. Good luck :)



Can a retired person without a regular income but good credit get a auto loan?

Most banks and loan companies are going to want you to show a means of paying back the loan. If you don't have a regular income from Social Security or some other source, then you may have a problem.



Can a retired person without a regular income but good credit get a auto loan?

PROBABLY SO. THERE ARE MANY %26quot;BUY HERE PAY HERE%26quot; CAR LOTS. THEY HOLD THE TITLE, AND IF YOU DEFAULT ON THE LOAN, THEY REPO THE CAR.



Can a retired person without a regular income but good credit get a auto loan?

it wont be that easy if you dont have a regular monthly check, but a good down payment and good credit go along way, you may need to have some proof of income for whatever it is you do make, all in all you should be able to get it done at a regular dealer and not have to go to a buy here pay here chop shop, or a special credit acceptance place



Can a retired person without a regular income but good credit get a auto loan?

Actually if you have good credit it is very easy to get a loan without income. I have financed many individuals that were retired.



It does directly depend on your credit rating and history though. You could have a great credit score, but if you are looking at a 20,000 car and your max credit history is only five thousand, the bank will look more deeply into a pproving you, or if you haven't used your credit in so many years.



However, if you have a strong credit history with score, any dealer can get you approved, I shouldn't say this, but because of a strong credit I have even seen dealers make up a job for someone that doesn't have to be verified, just because of credit strength

Does anyone know what the maximum interest rate that can be charged in Texas for an auto loan.?

I you don't know, where can I start my search?



Does anyone know what the maximum interest rate that can be charged in Texas for an auto loan.?

Texas does set a maximum interest rate for buying a used vehicle...not sure about new. Good luck trying to find what the interest rates are on the web, though -- you can find lots of sites that say it, but none of them give the rates.



How the auto dealerships get around this is by jacking the price of the car up and calling it a %26quot;discount fee%26quot;.



Does anyone know what the maximum interest rate that can be charged in Texas for an auto loan.?

The law does not dictate maximum interest rate allowed.



Does anyone know what the maximum interest rate that can be charged in Texas for an auto loan.?

It's very difficult to say and it varies from company to company. It also depends on your credit score. You can make some search on yahoo and google to find out some company which suits your requirements.

My cerdit score is in the mid 550's. Where can I find approval for an auto loan?

I just got a customer with a similar score approved through Ford Motor Credit.



FMCC would not approve them @ 0% but they did approve them @ 1.9% X 60 mo with a $2000 down payment (they were $2000 upside down on trade ) for a new 2007 Escape .



My cerdit score is in the mid 550's. Where can I find approval for an auto loan?

wait -- please do your self a favor and go get a securred cc and just charge it half way and pay it off for about 6 months and your rating should go up dramatically. With a 550 score you should be able to get a car loan but your interest rate will be obsene. So your payments will be as well.



My cerdit score is in the mid 550's. Where can I find approval for an auto loan?

I agree with Daniel A. You will probably get a high interest rate. I am in similar situation with a 12.9 rate. Its just best you don't finance a car at all just save up for it it will be a lesser headache down the road.

How can I exit this subprime auto loan hole??

If I threw $1400 at the principle on a $6700 balance w/24%



interest what will be my balance? (almost debt free)



How can I exit this subprime auto loan hole??

24% auto loan? Sell the car.



I don't care what the balance is.



How can I exit this subprime auto loan hole??

Your new balance should be $5,434.00



The interest payment for $6,700 (interest rate 24%) is $134.00.



1400-134=1266



6700-1266=5434



If you send a monthly payment of $469.00 after the $1,400



You will pay off this account is 12 months.



How can I exit this subprime auto loan hole??

Unless you plan to pay off the car in the next 12 months or so, then you should pay off the note completely with some other source. Join a credit union and obtain a loan from them. You may even want to look into your line of credit on an existing credit card if you can beat 24%. Anything is better 24% interest.
