Review the auto loan options presented to you. Some considerations to make when evaluating which loan to pick are annual percentage rate (APR) and term (length) of the loan. You can use a free online tool that will help you better crunch numbers to calculate your total cost. Both of these aspects are incredibly important to factor in, with regards to getting the best deal for you. The APR is a fee that is calculated into your monthly loan payment on top of the invoice price of the car.  The APR that you will be offered is contingent on your credit score. Unfortunately, having a poor credit score may qualify you for loans with higher APR because lenders see borrowers with bad credit as a higher risk. You can finance a car from $5,000 up to $55,000! Even better, if you’re over the age of 25 you can secure an auto loan for $0 down in Virginia.

Find a dealer

In fact, you can specify the car that you are interested in and we will help you navigate the car search process, and help find you financing opportunities for your vehicle purchase.

Secure Financing

Pick your best loan and drive off the lot in a new or used car today! Securing financing for your new or used car divides the amount that you owe into small payments made across a span of months. For people with damaged credit, financing a car is a good way to rebuild your financial history, taking into account that you make your monthly payments on time every month until the loan has been repaid.

Select the APR that suits you. A financing option with the lowest APR that you can find is the best option for you. A lower APR equals less money that you will pay for your car, because that interest is factored in based on the amount that you borrow. If you think just a couple of percentage points won’t make a big difference, then you are mistaken. Once you factor in the length of the loan you could be paying anywhere from several hundred to several thousand in additional interest fees.  

Pick how long you would like your loan to stretch. You can pick the length of time that you would like to pay off a loan, it could be for as few as six months to as long as several years. Carefully consider how long it will take to pay off the loan that you choose, or you may pay more for the vehicle than you bargained for. Consider this, a loan for $15,000 at a 15% interest rate for 48 months would actually end up costing you $20,083.08 once you are done paying it off. Your monthly car payments would be around $417 each month. Now consider the same $15,000 loan at a 15% interest rate, but divided out across 60 months. The difference is even greater! While your monthly car payments actually appear to be significantly lower each month at around $356, you will actually pay a grand total of $21,411 for the complete auto loan.  And these figures don’t even take into account taxes and other fees added to the cost of a car.
