Online Car Loan Applications

The internet has changed everything. With a world of information at their fingertips, consumers have more power than ever. Consumers can do anything from finding love to buying a home online. Car shoppers have been propelled from in-person haggling at their local dealerships to thousands of online listings from hundreds of dealers with competitive up-front pricing in the click of a button from the privacy of their own living room. The internet, offering consumers access to inventory from dealers across the nation, has driven car dealers to list their most competitive price online or be lost in a sea of a thousand dealers offering a better price to anyone with internet access. Consumers have the power to find the best car at the best price before even setting foot into a dealership and most dealership activity has been pushed out of the showroom and onto the internet. You can find a car, get an appraisal of your trade, sell your car, make your car payment and apply for credit online. Online credit applications have allowed consumers to get loan approvals in minutes without having to leave the house, much less fill out mountains of paperwork hoping to get approved. Consumers can find a car and dealership, get an offer on their trade, and secure financing all from the couch. It’s a brave new connected world but people still have plenty of questions about how online credit applications work.

Is it Safe?

With stories of identity theft almost as common as Kim Kardashian selfies, consumers are smart to be concerned about protecting their personal information. In most situations, it is the website that you need to be worried about, not the submission. Scammers will send you official looking emails taking you to phony sites set up for the purpose of stealing your information. You will think that you are getting a great deal those Captain Kirk and Spock matching salt and pepper shakers that you thought you were purchasing from William Shatner’s fan site, but in reality the link in that email sent you a to a scammer’s page hosted in Liberia. For online car shoppers, the best way to avoid identity theft while is to make sure you are submitting your application on a trusted site. Use Google local business listings to verify you are on the actual business’s web site. Its fine for consumers to research and shop on generic listing sites, but when it comes time to submit an application or inquiry, go directly to the dealership’s website. Submitting information to a website that has an actual brick and mortar location will significantly decrease your chances to become a victim to a scam. When you are submitting an application for credit, check the web address of the credit application. It should be HTTP secure. The web address should begin with “https://ssl” or “https://”. The https:// stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, meaning the dealership uses encryption to collect your information. HTTPS provides protection against outside hackers gaining access to your information. It also encrypts collected data to avoid tampering or eavesdropping. Again, the most fool-proof way to avoid identity theft online is to make sure you are on the correct site and to make sure that site is connected to an actual physical business location.

Will Applying For An Auto Loan Hurt My Credit?

Since we primarily work with sub-prime borrowers, our customers can be even more concerned about damaging their credit further than a consumer with excellent credit. Our internal credit application is just that…. internal.

Even though during the application process we will run your credit, it is very unlikely to damage your credit anyway. Check out our blog post “Will Shopping Around For A Car Loan Damage My Credit?”

How Long Will It Take?

With companies fighting to make their product or service faster and faster, you can end up feeling like you’re stuck in Something About Mary’s “7 Minute Abs” argument. Just when you think someone has the fastest whatever, someone else comes out with something quicker. One only needs to study the “time to apply for car insurance” wars between Geico and Esurance. “It takes you 15 whole minutes to get car insurance?! We can do that in 7 ½ minutes!” While some things, like getting a car loan, shouldn’t be completed at a lighting pace, that doesn’t mean you should have to fill out one hundred required fields to apply for a car loan. Unless you have your employers HR department’s direct line number handy, you’re going to want to find a dealer that has a minimum required fields. At our dealership, we have slimmed down our online credit application to 8 required fields. You can enter as much information as you want but you won’t be forced to.

I Have Terrible Credit. Can I Get Approved?

How To: 10 Tips for Getting An Auto Loan After Repossession

    Having your car repossessed is not a pleasant experience... for anyone. Often, consumers purchase a vehicle with an auto loan while their financial situation is good and one major financial incident can send a good paying loan customer into a tailspin of non-payment. What makes vehicle repossession even more difficult is the fact that the consumer needs the vehicle as a means to get to work, and getting to work is likely the only way out of the financial situation that put them into repossession in the first place. One unexpected medical issue, layoff or difficult circumstance can negate your ability to make your car payment, and send you on the road to repossession. A repossession can be catastrophic for a family that depends on a vehicle to get to work, and make it impossible for consumers to turn the situation around. If your car has been repossessed it will be more difficult for you to get a loan, much less a good interest rate. Most prime lenders and banks will not loan a vehicle to a consumer that has a recent repossession, but there is hope. There are lenders and dealerships that will lend money to sub-prime borrowers including those with a history of repossession. Getting a car will get you back on the road and one step closer to fixing your financial mess..

1. Pay Off Your Loan
Now hold on.. You're probably thinking "If I could have paid off the loan, I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with." and you're right. We're not trying to aggravate you any further by suggesting you do something that is quite obviously impossible. What you may not know is that when a car is repossessed it is resold, usually at an auction, to pay off the remainder of the loan. The difference in that amount (minus fees and other charges) is what you owe after the repossession. It may not be an exorbitant amount... It may only be a few hundred dollars that you could pay off completely. That would stop any further collection and damage to your credit score, making it easier (and cheaper) to get another loan.

2. Contact Your Lender
The old adage "you never know until you try" rings true... even in the case of repossession. Your prior lender may be willing to work out an agreement with you to avoid further credit damage. You'll need to find out how much you really owe after fees and credit from the sale of your previous vehicle. There's no negative in attempting to negotiate with your lender.

3. Call The Credit Bureaus
One simple credit fix that is less well know is this: the credit bureaus will attach a short note to your delinquent credit items at your request. It won't change your score or remove the item, but it will give potential lenders reviewing your credit a short explanation of your side. 

4. Get Your Credit Report
Your repossession will have an affect on your score and history but until you pull your report, you have no idea where you stand. The affect of the repossession may not be as bad as you think, especially if you have other accounts that you have been able to pay on time. By law, you are permitted to view your credit report from all three credit bureaus one time per year. 

5. Do What You Can To Fix Your Credit
It's possible that there are other, easily fixable negative items on your report that is damaging your score. Even with a repossession, repairing other items on your report could mean the difference between driving or walking, and a percentage rate of 2 or 20 percent. If you can, wait as long as possible before purchasing another car. While this is not feasible for everyone, letting some time pass since your repossession and even opening a few secured credit cards can do wonders to your score.

6. Start Saving A Down Payment
Unfortunately if you have a recent repossession, the only way you will be able to get an auto loan is with at least a minimal down payment. Start saving what you can. By the time you find a lender and vehicle, you will hopefully have enough for your down payment.

7. Be Reasonable
"The sky is the limit" is no longer an option for consumers with recent repossessions. It's likely that you will not be able to get a newer model expensive vehicle. You may have to bring your expectations down a few notches. There is a limit to how much a sub-prime lender will allow you to borrow and you should be searching for an automobile within that range.

8. Find A Lender Before You Find A Car
Many consumers that are new to sub-prime lending make the mistake of searching for the car and then searching for the credit. For those with recent repossessions, you're going to need to find out how much a lender will approve you for before you find a car that you love.. and can't afford.

9. Visit A Dealer That Offers "Special Financing"
To find a dealership that works with sub-prime borrowers, search for dealers that advertise car loans for bad credit or special financing. These dealerships will have sub-prime lending options that mostly consider your income as opposed to your credit. You will pay more in interest, but they will be able to get you back on the road.

10. Buy Here Pay Here 
If all else fails, you can look for a dealership that offers Buy Here Pay Here. If you have no income, Buy Here Pay Here will be pretty much your only option. You'll need more for a down payment and will also have a higher interest rate, but they will be able to get you a car loan.

Top 10 Best Used Cars Under $5000

Used car shopping on a budget? As a dollar stretches less and less, finding a good car on a small budget can be frustrating. You don't have to sacrifice reliability or quality for budget. We have compiled a combined list of the top ten vehicles that experts say are the best used cars under $5,000. They are reliable and reasonably priced, and won't break the bank.

2004 and Under Ford Focus

Shoppers looking in the $5,000 are almost always looking for practicality and fuel efficiency. There’s a version for everyone, which is one of the reasons it’s been Ford’s top selling model. There’s no need to worry about mileage either. Even ones that have been marginally maintained are barely broken in at 100k miles.

Fico Introduces New Scoring System FICO® Score 9 and Offers Hope for Lower Interest Rates and Easier Credit

Fico recently introduced big changes to the way the credit agency calculates scores. Consumer advocates had been petitioning the agency for some time to implement rule changes, specifically pertaining to medical bills. Medical costs are mostly out of a consumer’s control and consumers reported being unaware that the account even existed or believed it was paid by their insurance. What’s worse is that experts don’t believe that lack of payment on medical bills is any indication of a consumer’s likelihood to pay, which is supposed to be the score's intent. According to the Consumer Finance Production Bureau’s report “

Medical Debt and Credit Scores” released in May 2014, concluded that consumers with medical accounts in collection that had more paid than non-paid medical accounts were just as likely to pay a regular account as well as a consumer with a score that was 20 points higher.

Car Buying: New Versus Used Cars

Car Buying: 10 Biggest Mistakes Made By Auto Loan Customers

Consumers either desperate for transportation or excited about a new purchase often forget that a vehicle is a major purchase. For most consumers, a vehicle is the most expensive purchase they will make aside from their home. Most people wouldn’t rush out and buy a house without careful consideration and it should be the same way when purchasing a vehicle… especially when you’re financing.  Here are 10 of the most common mistakes borrowers make and how to avoid them.

7 Tips For Buying A Car With No Credit or Bad Credit

For consumers with good credit, car buying can be pleasant experience. They can shop

around to find what they like and have finance companies falling all over them to offer a competitive rate. For most consumers, this is not the reality. A majority of car buyers looking to finance vehicles have fair to poor credit and when you’re a buyer struggling with credit challenges, car shopping can be an exercise in futility. If you have bad credit, fair credit or no credit, car buying doesn't have to make you want to pull your hair out. By following a few simple steps, you can make the process less stressful and be on your way to repairing your credit and get back on the road.

What is a Sub-Prime Borrower?

According to Experian's State of the Automotive Finance Market Report for the first quarter of 2014, scores are divided into five categories of ranges. 740 and up puts your score in the "Super Prime" category. 730-680 is "Prime" and 679-620 is "Non-Prime".  That leaves all other consumers in the "Sub-Prime" category with 550 and under being described as "Deep Sub-Prime". According to their Open Loans by Risk report, over 21 percent of all open loans are below prime, with deep sub-prime lending being the highest growing category of open loans. The average credit score of an auto financing customer dropped 10 points from the first quarter of 2013 from 731 to 721. In summary, more lenders are willing to take chances with sub-prime borrowers as more and more consumers are falling into that category. According to Credit-Report-101, the national average FICO credit score as of 2014 in the US is 639, which would place the average national consumer in the "Non-Prime" category. 

How To Sell Your Vehicle and Get the Best Price

Selling your car can be stressful. Many consumers have no idea where to begin. It doesn't have to be difficult. Successful sellers know how to get the most money for a vehicle. Following a checklist can help make the process a whole lot easier and get you more money.
Check Values
Many consumers have no idea what their car is worth. Unless you're in the auto industry or a car aficionado, just figuring out the value of your vehicle can cause frustration. Relax! Use one of the million tools online to estimate the value of your vehicle. Kelly Blue Book’s “Sell My Car” tool is a great place to start. Enter your make model and mileage.
TIP	Be honest about your vehicle’s condition. Your 1999 Focus Wagon with pink plush seats may be extremely valuable to you but as far as re-sale goes, not so much. One of the most difficult parts for “do it yourself” selling is that consumers place a much higher value on their personal belongings. The faster you can face reality and price your car appropriately, the faster your car can sell and you can move on to the next one. Over priced cars don’t sell. How competitively you price your vehicle will determine how fast it will sell and over-pricing could leave you stuck in the vehicle you no longer want.

Helpful Tips to Pay Off your Auto Loan Early

Nearly 70% of consumers purchase their vehicle with financing. Next to a mortgage or rent, auto installments make up the second largest portion of a person’s budget. When your car payment is such a significant part of your budget each month, paying off early can seem impossible but it doesn't have to be. Here are some (hopefully painless) ideas on how to pay off your loan early. We hear from customers all the time who get their loan with the intention of paying off early. By having a lower payment amount, customers have the flexibility to pay their loan down early but still have the ability to pay the lower amount when the extra cash is needed elsewhere. Here are a few ideas on how to pay off your loan early.

We have been serving Pittsburgh and surrounding areas like McKeesport, Brentwood, Mount Lebanon, Monroeville, Baldwin, Penn Hills, West Mifflin and many more for 20 years.

7 Ways to Avoid Auto Repossession

Everyone has experienced a financial difficulty at one time or another. Maybe you lost your job, had an unexpected medial issue or expensive repairs on your vehicle. Regardless of the situation, few people can say that they have never had a month where they had to choose between bills. If you have experienced financial difficulty and were forced to miss a car payment, it doesn’t have to mean that you lose your car. Contrary to popular belief, no one wins in repossession.

The loan customer loses their vehicle and the

Get Your Payoff
The first step to selling any vehicle with a loan balance is to contact the lender and get the pay-off amount. Call your lender and request a 10-day payoff. This is the total amount that they will accept to close the loan. That amount is generally good for 10 days. See if your

What Kind of Car Can I Get with Bad Credit?

CAR BUYING - How important is mileage when buying a used car?

The “new normal” 200,000 miles…     

During the 60’s and 70’s the typical automobile in America reached the end of its life right around 100,000 miles. Buying a car with 100k on the odometer was the equivalent of testing your luck. Even though it seems that 100k has stuck with consumers as a maximum mile marker to buy a used car, experts say modern cars haven’t even reached the half-way point of their lifetime at 100k miles. In today’s market, cars can expect to see a lifetime of 250,000 miles or more. New car dealers have felt the “Catch-22” of building better automobiles over the past few decades. Makers have to build better automobiles to attract buyers, but building better automobiles also means consumers keep their cars longer. New car makers have always tried to figure out how to build better cars without making consumers less likely to upgrade later, and profits have been affected by consumers who are in no hurry to get out of a car that still runs well.

You may have been a victim of financial hardship. Bankruptcy, divorce, job loss and medical bills can take a toll on people’s credit rating.

TOP TEN CRAIGSLIST CAR BUYING SCAMS

Craigslist is one of the most popular websites for buying cars… and why shouldn't it be? Instead of finding and pouring over a hundred local dealer sites, you can see what all of the dealers in your area are selling in one simple search. Unfortunately, with popularity comes abuse. Scammers have latched on to the site at record numbers. Craigslist has made huge changes to how dealers post to combat the scammers, but with any website that commands millions of visitors each month it attracts bad people trying to separate you from your hard earned money. Here are the most common scams and some tips on how to avoid them.

1) THE RUBBER CHECK/MONEY ORDER

“I’ll send you a verified check or money order. You can even wait for it to clear!”

Will Shopping Around For A Car Loan Damage My Credit?

         We hear from customers buying a used car all the time that are worried about making credit inquiries at multiple dealerships while car shopping.  It’s especially worrisome for those with challenged credit because they are worried about damaging their credit any further, but are forced to shop around to find a company that will give them a loan. Like in most other financial situations, people with bad credit are left with few options. 

         First, it’s important to note that all credit checks are not the same. Checking your own credit does not affect your credit score at all. This common myth has been debunked countless times by credit experts. Any consumer that would like to keep track of their credit can and should pull their Equifax, Experian and Trans Union credit reports for free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com.  While it is true that your credit score could possibly be affected by running multiple credit inquiries in a short period of time, the affect is minimal and temporary. FICO has released

What's In A Credit Score?

Car Buying - I Have A Guaranteed Approval... What Should I Bring To TheDealership?

If you have recently applied online for an auto loan and received a preliminary approval, you may be wondering what happens next. We get tons of questions about what type of documentation to bring and how the process works. If you've purchased a vehicle before, then you have some general knowledge of the car buying process. If you paid cash for your car, you would have been processed fairly quickly and simply came to the dealership to pay for the vehicle and sign sale documentation. When you are getting any financing, especially bad credit financing you will be required to bring verification items like proof of income, residence, and other necessary items to close your car loan depending on your specific situation. 

Here is a breakdown of the items you will need to bring to ensure your loan will close and speed up processing so you can drive away in your new car..

• IDENTIFICATION
• PROOF OF RESIDENCE

You can bring utility or phone bills. Make sure that there is an address listed on the bill, and bring the most current bill you have.

SUB-PRIME BAD CREDIT AUTO LOANS - Twelve Most Frequently Asked Questions

Its a vicious cycle.... 

Lots of good people have ended up in financial hardship from job loss, illness or unexpected problems resulting in damaged credit. Once your credit is damaged, the only way to rebuild your credit is to get a loan and show that you can now pay. But how do you prove you can pay if no one will give you a chance? Guaranteed auto loans can be the answer for some consumers to rebuild their credit and get back on track.

What Is Buy Here Pay Here?

Similar to bad credit financing or sub-prime lending, Buy Here Pay Here loans continue to be popular for those with extraordinary credit problems. To understand how Buy Here Pay Here works, you need to first understand how dealerships finance vehicles. Dealerships that normally work with bad credit or no credit customers will more than likely partner with outside “Special Financing” or sub-prime lending companies. Good dealerships partner with more than one financing company to offer additional options to customers in different types of situations. Some dealerships will also offer “Buy Here Pay Here” or “Rent to Own” programs for those customers that do not meet the requirements for Special Financing.
