Why VFCU Auto Loans?

Loans vary depending on the amount borrowed and the lender willing to provide those finances. Typically, an auto loan allows you to borrow money from a lender and use those finances to purchase a vehicle. Although the process is simple and fast, you would have to consider the possibility of having to repay your loan in fixed installments over a certain period. 

Budget Your Finances

If you’ve done your research on what car you were looking into buying, then it’s time to consider your financial options. Before even considering buying your car, you must think about important factors that could hinder your car-buying process:

• Do you have a down payment set aside?
• What is the highest you can pay per month?
• Do you have a good insurance premium?
• Is this vehicle gas-friendly, even during inflation times?
• Do you have money set aside for repairs and maintenance?

Financial Literacy Tips

Consider Trade-ins or Discounts

When it comes to finding the right deal for your car, you need to consider options. Do so by:

• Trading in your older vehicle and use that money for your new purchase. 
• Visiting websites and exclusive car deals from other dealerships to get an estimate how much money it will cost.
• Speaking to competing dealerships and ask for which deals they offer for your trade in, and once you find the lowest, contact your dealership and see if they can price-match.

Doing so can help with most of the finances, and consider how much your old vehicle is worth before turning it into a dealership and selling it.
