Check out these tips from Carson Cars to prepare yourself better:
How Can Military Personnel Prepare For a Car Loan?
1. Get Your Documents Ready
Prepare the following documents before applying for a car loan.
- A credit report (the dealer may do this for you, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared)
- Social security number
- Permanent address
- Proof of service and military ID
- Assign a power of attorney who can sign off on your behalf when you’re out of the country
2. Buy a Car in the Discount Season
All dealerships offer some kind of discount and auto loans before bringing in new inventory or off-season sales. If you time your purchase right, you might get unbelievably high discounts with your military status.
3. Research the Vehicle and the Dealership
You need to find a trustworthy dealership with several years of experience serving military personnel. The car should not be any different either. Why not make it even more convenient by going to a dealership that sells cars and provides auto servicing? It could help you get discounts on future repairs and scheduled maintenance.
What Is the Difference Between Military Car Loans for Veteran and Active Personnel?
Compared to veterans, active military personnel needs to provide a copy of their military ID and get more discounts or offers on their car loan applications.
Before you end up signing any loan deal, make sure you read the fine print. It is even better to ask your friends and family for recommendations.

This was the best car purchasing experience I have ever had and I used to work in car dealerships! An amazing and super nice and helpful crew. I was the first sale for the new sales guy, today was his 1st or 2nd day at work and with his mentor it was fun! And the finance gentleman was so thoughtful and considerate. They really met my needs and I am very grateful. Highly recommend Carson Cars! Ty guys!!
