Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Loans
What documents do I need to apply for a car loan in Wisconsin?
While requirements can vary slightly by lender, you should generally be prepared to provide a valid driver's license, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs or bank statements), proof of residence (like a utility bill), and proof of auto insurance. Having these documents ready can help speed up the financing process.
Is it possible to get an auto loan with a low credit score?
Yes, it is often possible to obtain an auto loan even if you have a low credit score or past credit challenges. We work with a network of lenders who specialize in providing options for various credit situations. A larger down payment or having a co-signer can sometimes improve the terms available to you.
How much should I have for a down payment?
There is no single required down payment amount. However, providing a down payment is generally recommended as it can lower your monthly payment, reduce the total amount you need to finance, and may help you access more favorable loan terms. A common suggestion is 10-20% of the vehicle's price, but any amount you can comfortably provide is beneficial.
Can I use my current vehicle as a trade-in?
Absolutely. Trading in your current vehicle is an excellent way to provide a down payment. You can use our online Value My Trade tool to get an estimate of your car's worth. We will perform a final appraisal at the dealership and apply its value directly to your new purchase, reducing the amount you need to finance.
What is the difference between getting pre-qualified and pre-approved?
Pre-qualification is an initial estimate of what you might be able to borrow, often based on a soft credit inquiry that does not affect your score. Pre-approval is a more formal step where a lender reviews your credit and financial information more thoroughly (usually via a hard credit inquiry) to offer a conditional commitment for a specific loan amount. Our online form helps you start the process towards pre-approval.
