What is the Difference Between Dealership Financing and a Car Loan?

Though they may seem like the same thing, there is a difference between car loans and car financing. Car loans are set up directly between you and a bank, finance company or credit union. Conversely, you may apply for financing through a dealership. The dealer will sell your financing contract to a bank, finance company, or credit union, which will service your account. When you meet with one of our trusted Sales Consultants, they will walk you through each factor, so you can make informed and confident choices.

What is the Taxable Value of My Car?

The taxable value of your car varies state to state. Call your local dealership and speak to one of our Sales Consultants for the estimated taxable value of your car.

What is an Upside Down Loan?

An upside-down loan means you owe more on the car you currently own than what it is worth. If that’s your situation, there may be financing options available for you. Apply today.

How Much Car Can I Afford?

A lot of factors come into your car budget, like rent/mortgage, bills, groceries, savings and other household expenses. Visit our Car Payment Calculator to help you estimate your monthly car payments and make an informed decision about how much car you can afford.
