Six Steps to Secure a Great Deal on Your Next Auto Loan
Summary
Securing a good deal on a car isn't as difficult as it may seem. The key is to be informed about the process and terms involved in auto loans. The more you know, the better equipped you'll be to negotiate effectively. Follow these six steps to drive away with the auto loan of your choice.
1. Check Your Credit Score
Start by reviewing your credit score since it directly influences your interest rate and credit limit. Obtain a copy of your credit report and check for any errors that could impact your loan terms. If you find discrepancies, correct them, and allow 4 to 6 weeks for updates to reflect in your report.
2. Search for Quotes Online
Once your credit report is accurate, search online for car loan quotes. Aim to get preapproved to know how much you can borrow. Compare interest rates, loan terms, and additional fees from different lenders.
By applying for several quotes within a 14-day window, it will only count as a single inquiry on your credit report, preventing any negative impact on your score.
3. Get Preapproved
Choose one or two lenders with favorable quotes and apply for preapproval. This step grants you a blank check from the lender, valid for a set period, which empowers your car search and strengthens your negotiation position with dealers.
4. Choose a Car
With your credit limit in mind, search for a car within your budget. Start by researching online to gather information about various options and models.
5. Research the Car
Thoroughly research your chosen vehicle. Understand its cost, retail value, and available features. This knowledge will bolster your negotiations at the dealership. Check different sources to gauge average selling prices, bearing in mind that private sellers may offer lower prices but might not include warranties.
6. Negotiate and Buy Your Car
Visit the dealership ready to negotiate. If negotiating isn't your strength, consider bringing a friend who can assist. Once you've agreed on a price, finalize the purchase and drive away with a great deal.
By following these steps, you can ensure a smoother process and secure a favorable auto loan.
