The Benefits of an Auto Loan Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved before you start shopping for your next vehicle has many benefits. Not only does it help you secure the best interest rate possible, it also helps make sure you stay within your budget. In addition, it puts you in a stronger negotiating position at the dealership.

What is Pre-Approval?

Pre-approval means a lender has provided approval for the total amount that you can spend along with the interest rate and repayment terms for your loan.

Benefits of Pre-Approval

  • Stay Within Budget
    Knowing the dollar amount you are approved for means you already know your monthly payment and that it is within your budget.
  • Simplify the Process
    Spend less time negotiating financing and more time making sure you find the vehicle that meets your needs.

Securing pre-approval can help simplify the car-buying process and increase your negotiating power at the dealership so that you can have greater peace of mind about your purchase.
