Financing a Used Car: The Facts

Here are some essential facts you should know if you want to purchase a car near Ewa Beach:

• Most states don’t require you to have full coverage to purchase a new or used vehicle, however, finance lenders want to know if their investment is sound. 
• Full coverage is required by most financial investors to sell your vehicle whether your vehicle is new or used. 
• When financing a vehicle, there are term agreements that tell how many years you’ll need to pay a lender until you earn your title. That means, if you apply for financing and obtain a loan for 36 months, your lender will hold the title for that period of time.

In most cases, full coverage insurance is contingent on the full term of the finance period. In the example given above, that would mean your used car would have full coverage insurance for the 36 month period.

How Many Years Can You Finance a Used Car? 

Once you selected your preferred used Cadillac, GMC modelnearWaipahu, you’ll need to provide this information to our finance team so they may contact lenders on your behalf:

• 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)

After being paired with a lender, a finance team member will explain the terms and conditions to finance your used vehicle. You’ll have to consider credit and what you’ll be able to put as a down payment to determine the length of your finance period.
