Getting Preapproved is the First Step

With preapproved financing, you can shop like a cash buyer, which gives you more negotiating power since you’re not relying on dealership financing. Of course, if the dealership offers you better rates and loan terms, you’re free to accept their financing. If not, you can stick with the auto loan you already have, knowing you have the best deal. Once you find and purchase your new car they'll send the loan documents to us.

Disclosures

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. SchoolsFirst FCU has a loan program featuring a range of interest rates for some of its consumer loans. A rate is based on a variety of factors, including the applicant's credit rating. Rates quoted are effective as of 12/13/2024 and are subject to change without notice. All loans subject to approval. Terms and conditions are subject to change and may vary based on collateral conditions, qualification and creditworthiness.

Restrictions apply.
Subject to approval. Interest will continue to accrue during the skip payment period. Must have made the last 12 consecutive loan payments on time or, if "No Payment for 90 Days" was added, must have made nine consecutive loan payments on time. All loan and share accounts must be in good standing. Valid on select auto loans. Program subject to change or cancellation. Limited to one skip per 12 months.
Financing not to exceed 130% of the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price on new vehicles (Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value on used vehicles) based on creditworthiness; and may include tax, license, documentation fees, GAP and Extended Warranty/MRC.
Does not apply to the refinance of existing SchoolsFirst FCU auto loans or cash-out refinance loans and is nontransferable. The “90 day no payment” period cannot be combined with other payment skip programs to extend the first payment due date longer than 90 days from funding. Interest begins to accrue immediately and the 90 days of interest will be collected through the first payment. As a result, you may pay higher total finance charges on the loan than if payments began earlier.
Subject to eligibility. Rate may be reduced by up to 0.50% APR increments after 12 consecutive on-time payments. Maximum rate reduction will not exceed lowest APR offered at the time of funding and the maximum number of rate reductions are determined by eligibility. Monthly payment will remain the same, with additional money applied as per the Loan and Security Agreement. This may shorten the term of the loan and total interest paid over the life of the loan.

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. All loans subject to approval. Lowest rates reflect a 0.75% discount for payment by automatic transfer from your SchoolsFirst FCU Share Savings or Share Draft Checking account.
