Smart Car Finder Difference
Nationwide finance options for cheap cars are available to the public via our dealer network. Dealer financing has many advantages over
traditional bank lending. First, car dealers have access to a wide variety of indirect lenders that consumers do not. Second,
indirect lenders, available to retailers, often have promotional rates on select makes and models that local banks and most
online finance companies cannot match. Finally, indirect lenders have less stringent approval guidelines, and much of the
time are able to approve loans that local banks cannot.
Fast - Purchasers can finance and buy a car at the same time, and often take their car home on the same day.
Best Interest Rates and Financing Terms - SmartCarFinder dealers periodically offer low interest rate incentives from the auto manufacturers that local banks do not for cheap car financing; even with past credit problems. For instance, most captive finance companies are now, or have in recent times, offering interest rates as low as 0%, 1.0%, 2.9% or 3.9% for new autos. It's hard to beat those interest rates no matter how long you shop around.
Multiple Lending Sources - Dealers can offer buyers a range of financing options. Many of the top auto financing companies in the USA only offer financing for autos through their local dealer affiliates.
Easier Loan Requirements - Dealer finance managers are specially trained to present your case to the lender in the most favorable terms to help guarantee that each application has the best possibility of approval.
