Key elements to consider before you apply for an auto loan.

How do auto loans work?

Most people don’t have enough cash on hand to buy a car outright. When that’s the case, the answer to buying the vehicle you want is getting a loan from a financial institution. By financing, you’re agreeing that you’ll pay the bank or credit union back for covering the cost of your car upfront. This can be a valuable tool to improve your creditworthiness and the affordability of the vehicle you want, or it could be a long-term liability costing you more than necessary. That’s where we come in. Once you’ve found your ideal vehicle, and understand your budget (try our Vehicle Payment Calculator), it’s time to apply for an auto loan. After you submit your application, you should receive a quote that you can take directly to the dealership.

How much car can I afford?

When determining affordability, it’s crucial that you look beyond the monthly payment. Your budget may accommodate the monthly payment, but you should also keep in mind general upkeep, taxes, and insurance when considering how much you’re able to afford. The length of your loan and your interest rate can also play a part in the overall affordability of the vehicle you choose. You should factor all of these into whether or not you can afford a vehicle prior to purchasing. 

What are the advantages of a credit union auto loan?

Since we're non-profit and don't have shareholders like larger financial institutions, a credit union auto loan can typically be offered at lower interest rates with more flexibility in payment terms. At Clearview, we also pride ourselves on having more personal relationships with our members. Our vision is to help people to enjoy a better life and we aim to do that in every interaction with you.
