How Do Auto Loans Work?
Auto loans are when someone borrows money from a bank or otherwise in order to pay for a new or used car that they have recently obtained or wish to obtain. Most of these loans work on a fixed interest rate with a fixed amount of time. Most commonly, the loan will be for 5 years or less. Interest rates are dependant upon how good or bad the borrowers’ credit scores are. They are also determined in part by how much money someone puts down on a vehicle.
When someone is ready to purchase a vehicle, they can either go straight to the bank and apply for a loan or apply at the car lot where the car will be purchased. Most people apply right at the car lot. Once the application for a loan is filled out, it is then sent to several banks that work closely with the particular car lot. This ensures the best chance of getting approval from one of the several banks. It is obviously in both the car lot and the buyers’ interest that credit approval is obtained when it comes to auto loans so many find that a car salesman will be quite persistent in trying to get the buyer approved for one of these loans. After approval, the car dealership is listed as main owner on the title until the loan is paid off and has the right to repossess the vehicle should payments go into default.
