Tips for Financing a Used Car

Shopping for a used car is a thrilling process. There are so many makes, models, and styles you can select from. Regardless of which type of used car you’re interested in, there are some guidelines to help ensure you create the right financing plan. 

At Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR), we’ve helped many folks throughout Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, finance the right used car. We want to help you as well. So, we’ve created this quick rundown of the top tips for financing a used car.

Understand All Your Options

Understanding your options is key to making a smart decision when financing a used car. The first step is to research the type of car you want and what features are important to you. 

Having a clear idea of your needs will help narrow down your choices. You can apply your financial goals to your auto wish list to get a more specific idea of your options. Another great option to look into is Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. These cars have undergone a rigorous inspection process and come with extended warranties and additional benefits.

Understanding Which Used Car Fits Your Lifestyle

Solidifying your budget is one of the most vital aspects of financing a used car. Knowing how much you can comfortably set aside each month for your car payment is crucial to smart financial planning. 

For your convenience, we offer a variety of online tools to help you get started. 

  • Online Financing Application: Our pre-approval form is easy to fill out and helps us find the best options for your needs. The more information we have, the better plan we can create for you. 

  • Payment Calculator: Simply select the used cars you’re interested in, and the calculator will estimate your monthly payment. This tool helps you understand how different factors affect your payment. 

  • Value Your Trade: If you're planning to trade in your current vehicle, this tool helps you estimate its value, which you can then apply toward the purchase of your next car. 

Whether you work with our finance team in person or use our online tools, we're committed to making the financing process as smooth and transparent as possible.

Credit Score

Understanding Your Credit Score

Your credit score plays an important role when it's time to apply for a car loan. A higher credit score can help you secure a more favorable loan rate, but we’re here to help you explore all your financing options, regardless of your score. 

If you want to improve your score, consider looking into ways to do so before starting the used car financing process. That way, you’ll be setting yourself up for success.
