Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Financing
What other costs should I be aware of when buying a car?
Beyond the price of the vehicle, there are additional costs to consider, such as sales tax, registration fees and documentation fees. Our finance experts at Pierce Auto Center will help you understand all potential charges, so you know exactly what to expect when purchasing your new vehicle.
How do I find the value of my trade-in vehicle?
To get an idea of your trade-in's value, you can use our online trade-in appraisal tool. For the most accurate assessment, however, we recommend bringing your vehicle to Pierce Auto Center, where our experts will evaluate its condition and offer you a fair market value.
Does my credit score affect my car loan rate?
Yes, your credit score has a significant impact on the interest rate you'll receive. Higher credit scores generally result in lower rates, while lower scores may lead to higher rates. Our finance team can review your credit and work with lenders to find the best available rate for your situation.
Can I get approved for a car loan with bad credit?
Absolutely! At Pierce Auto Center, we work with customers of all credit backgrounds, including those with lower credit scores. We partner with a variety of lenders to find financing solutions that suit your unique needs, so you can drive home in a vehicle you love.
I'm a first-time buyer. Can I get financing without credit history?
Yes, we offer special programs for first-time car buyers and customers with no credit history. Our team will guide you through the process and help you get approved for an auto loan, even if you're just starting to build your credit.
What's the best loan term for my situation?
The ideal loan term depends on your financial goals. Shorter loan terms generally mean higher monthly payments but less overall interest, while longer terms offer lower monthly payments but may cost more in interest over time. Our finance experts can help you choose the loan term that fits your budget and preferences, and you can use our car payment calculator to determine your monthly payment estimate.
Can Pierce Auto Center offer a better rate than my pre-approval?
If you have a pre-approved loan offer, bring it to us! We'll work with our network of lenders to see if we can secure a lower rate or better financing terms, ensuring you get the best offer possible.
Can I lower my monthly payments by refinancing?
Yes, refinancing your auto loan could help reduce your monthly payments. If interest rates have dropped or your credit score has improved, our team can help you explore refinancing options that may save you money.
Can I sell my car while I'm still paying off my loan?
Yes, selling a car you're still making payments on is possible, but you'll need to settle the remaining balance on your loan before transferring ownership to the new buyer. Our finance experts can walk you through the process and help ensure a smooth transaction.
