Before You Shop, Get Preapproved

With a preapproval in hand, you're in the driver's seat, because you'll have your rate and loan terms in place before you even start shopping. Next, use an auto convenience check to fund your loan and shop like a cash buyer — no surprises. Then write a check to the dealer up to your approved loan amount.5

Disclosures
  1. Restrictions apply. Interest will continue to accrue during the skip payment period.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Restrictions apply.
  • 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.
