Checking your Credit

Before you start shopping around for a new car, you’ll want to make sure you know what your credit score is. If you need to know your credit score, you can check a few different ways. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says on its blog that you can review your score by viewing your credit card or loan statement online, speaking with a nonprofit counselor, or using a credit score service. Some businesses offer free credit score services; this option may require a fee. Once you have your score, you will better understand what financial package you can expect. If you have a higher credit score, we can help you find the best interest rate for your vehicle purchase. If your credit score could be better or if you need to rebuild your credit, our financial team can help by tailoring a loan package! All you need to do is complete a Free Credit Application on our website to get preapproved! Once we receive your information, our financial office will contact you with our car loan options.

Payment Calculator

Once you have your loan information, you can check your monthly payment and buying power with our Payment Calculator! This tool gives you a quick estimate of what you can expect to pay monthly on your car loan or how much you can spend on your new vehicle with your loan. All you need to do is enter:

  1. Either the loan amount or your desired monthly payment
  2. Your expected down payment
  3. Your current car’s trade-in value
  4. How long your payment term will last
  5. Your interest rate

Once you enter this information into either calculator, it will supply you with an estimated monthly payment or expected purchasing dollar amount for your new car.
