Common Used Car Financing Questions
01
What interest rates can I expect for used car financing?
Used car loan rates typically vary based on several key factors including your credit history, loan term length and current market conditions. While used vehicle rates are generally higher than new car financing, competitive options are available for qualified buyers.
Factors that influence your rate include the vehicle's age and mileage, your debt-to-income ratio and the size of your down payment. Our finance specialists work with multiple lenders to secure the best rates possible for your unique financial situation.
02
How difficult is it to get approved for used vehicle financing?
Approval requirements for used car loans depend primarily on your individual financial profile. Lenders evaluate factors like employment history, monthly income, existing debt obligations and credit score when making approval decisions.
Even if you've faced credit challenges in the past, many financing solutions exist. Our team collaborates with various financial institutions to provide flexible approval options tailored to diverse credit situations, making vehicle ownership accessible to more customers. Ask about subprime financing and cosigner financing if you're looking to weigh all your options.
03
What credit score do I need to finance a used car?
Credit score requirements can vary significantly between lenders and loan programs. While higher credit scores typically qualify for more favorable terms and lower interest rates, financing options exist across the credit spectrum.
If your credit score needs improvement, consider making a larger down payment or choosing a shorter loan term to strengthen your application. Our finance experts can review your credit profile and recommend strategies to improve your approval chances and secure better terms.
04
Should I make a down payment on my used vehicle?
Making a down payment is highly recommended for used car purchases. A substantial down payment reduces your loan amount, which can lower monthly payments and decrease the total interest paid over the loan's life. Down payments also demonstrate financial commitment to lenders, potentially improving your loan terms and approval odds.
05
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a used car purchase?
Trade-ins are welcome and can serve as an excellent down payment source for your next used Nissan Sentra or Murano. We'll evaluate your current vehicle's market value and apply the equity toward your new purchase, potentially reducing or eliminating your out-of-pocket down payment needs.
Trading in also simplifies the buying process by handling two transactions simultaneously. Our appraisal team provides transparent, competitive valuations based on current market conditions and your vehicle's specific condition. Value your trade-in online today to get started!
