Despite the downsides of obtaining a car loan, most people will still get one because of one reason: they need a car! If you think you cannot afford to purchase a car with cash and are looking to obtain a loan, there are a few things you can keep in mind to avoid ruining your finances.
Obtain Financing Before
A common misconception is that financing at the dealership will not get the best deal. Dealers often have special promotional funding as well as working relationships with a long list of lending institutions. You can also apply for your financing through the dealership in advance to determine how much you qualify for.
Borrow the Minimum
Plain and simple, if you are a bit worried about making monthly payments, then you should re-evaluate whether or not you should be purchasing a pricier vehicle. If you can put down a larger down payment, do it.
Be Smart
Driving a safe and reliable car is vital, but it does not mean you need to spend more than you can afford. For any help with car loans in Lake Stevens, or general information, contact our office at Carson Cars at (425) 697-6969 and we can go over your lending questions or concerns.
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!!
