How to Finance a Used Car

While most states won’t require full coverage on a new or used car, your finance lender probably will. Banks or lenders want to protect their investments, so they’ll usually require full coverage on whatever car you end up choosing, no matter if it’s new or pre-owned. The lender will dictate how long they’ll finance your vehicle for you, so they’ll own the vehicle for that period of time as you pay off the loan. This length of time is usually also the period that your car will have full coverage insurance on it. If you’re interested in starting the financing process, you can apply for financing right from our website.

How Many Years Can You Finance a Used Car? 

The terms of your finance agreement – including how many years you can finance your car – will be determined by your lender based on a wide variety of factors. Once you’ve picked out a used vehicle from our inventory to be your next Fort Madison ride, we’ll ask you for some information to pass along to potential lenders. This information includes:

  • Valid Driver’s License
  • Valid Car Insurance Card
  • Any supporting financial documentation (i.e. last two pay stubs)
  • Any existing vehicle documentation for your current vehicle (if applicable)

We’ll contact lenders on your behalf and pair you with one to facilitate the buying process. A member of our finance team will explain the terms of the agreement that the lender has offered in exchange for financing your car. We aim to make this process as smooth and transparent as possible, so you can get behind the wheel of your car right away with no hassle. Keep in mind that your credit, down payment, and other factors will affect your financing period.
