Sounds like a good time to buy, right? But are you sure you qualify for these outstanding offers?

Auto financing is determined by your credit score. Your score is used to calculate how much cash you need to put down, your interest rate and your monthly payment. A few points can mean the difference between locking in the 0% APR or paying a significant amount more to own the same vehicle. It can even determine whether you get a loan at all. Knowing your credit score is vital step in preparing for your auto purchase.

Did you know that there have been recent changes in credit scoring system? Many people who thought they were aware of their credit standing were surprised when they were turned down at the dealer for their auto loan. When you know your credit score before heading to the dealership, there aren’t any surprises. Plus, checking your score is free - so it’s a no brainer!

Would you head to the car dealership without first knowing something about their models, prices or safety ratings? Probably not. So, don’t head to their financing department without knowing your credit rating. Knowing your credit score will save you time and money! What are you waiting for?
