How Many Steps Are You from Getting Car Finance?
It is a pretty
easy process to get car finance approved, but it can seem complicated if you
don’t know what to expect. Many people don’t get the car that they wanted
because someone else got money together and bought it first. This can be a big
disappointment.
These 5 steps
should help make the whole process run more smoothly for you and help you get a
quicker settlement.
Step
1) Find Your Car:
If you haven’t yet decided on which car
you want, you should try to at least have an idea of what you. This is because
finance companies base their final approval on the car you buy. If you find a
model that is similar to the car you will eventually buy then it won’t matter
if the car you actually do buy is just a bit different.
Step
2) Be Prepared:
No matter what finance company you
choose, you will need to give them a lot of information about yourself if you
want them to approve your loan. You should make sure to bring all the necessary
information with you. This includes; your address details, your employers/work
details and driving license numbers. You will also be asked whether or not you
have previously borrowed money. If you there is a partner involved, you will
need to produce that persons information too.
Step
3) Be Available:
You might be asked to send papers or
documentation. At this point, the only person who could slow the process down
is you. You should try to have a scanner or a fax machine at your disposal so
you can send the necessary papers immediately. Be sure that you are available
to sign any documents if need be.
Step
4) Read Carefully:
It is important to read everything very
carefully. You should watch out for that small print, but also remember that
these are legal documents, you have to be sure to sign and put the date at the
right places, otherwise the document becomes invalid and you’ll have to make a
whole new one.
Step
5) You Are Approved:
Now that you are approved, you can see
the amount of money you have borrowed. It’s time to act. If you haven’t already
found the car to buy do it now. You can use the fact that your loan has been
approved as bargaining leverage. Certain documents from the car dealer are also
required to be sent to your finance company. Then comes settlement.
If you work well with your finance
company and follow these steps, it should be a pretty easy and quick process.
