So you want to finance a car in Asheville. What’s the first step? Well, applying for auto loans isn’t a bad place to start. Once you find the Hyundai car or SUV of your dreams, you can apply online right here at Hyundai of Asheville. You can also apply at your local bank, though that often results in less competitive financing offers as compared with applying at a dealership.
Financial institutions look at several factors when considering their offers:
If you have a low credit score or no credit history, you can ask a family member or close friend to cosign. Or it may be easier to lease a vehicle instead. It’s also easier to finance a new car purchase or lease a new car from a dealership when your credit rating is less than ideal.
Rarely do you only receive one loan offer. Typically, you have several offers with different annual percentage rates, monthly payments, and other factors. If you apply for financing at your bank, compare the offers to the in-house financing at your Hendersonville-area dealership, and vice versa. Hopefully, one of the deals will fit your lifestyle and budget.
Before taking a deal, make sure you have a deep understanding of your finances. Consider how much you can afford to put down up front and how much you can pay a month—you don’t want to agree to a deal outside of your price range. Also, make sure the vehicle you’re purchasing is a fair price by consulting the black book value.
Even if you have iffy credit, the first offer you receive is not your only financing option. Sometimes, it’s necessary to negotiate to get a car loan with an interest rate that works for you. But at the end of the day, interest rates and monthly payments aren’t your only concerns! Double check every aspect of a car loan before you agree to pay the down payment and monthly payments on your new Weaverville vehicle.
