Why You Should Finance Your Next Car Loan At Your Credit Union

When shopping for a new set of wheels, your first stop should be Ontario Shores Federal Credit Union. While many people start at the dealer’s lot, you’ll enjoy a lower rate, a simpler loan application, and other big benefits when choosing to finance your car at your credit union.

Let’s take a look at the differences in the auto loan process.

Financing an auto purchase at a car dealership

At a dealer’s lot, the dealer will likely try persuading you to push your self-imposed car budget to the max or even to go over your ceiling price.

But, if you’re financing your car through the dealer, that’s only the beginning. Once you’ve chosen your car, you’ll need to submit a complicated auto loan application form, which the dealer sends to the finance companies it partners with. This can include lenders and financial institutions – even Ontario Shores Federal Credit Union! The dealer will then share the lender offers with you and ask you to make your choice.

However, in most cases, the dealer is only the middleman. This means they are going to present your options in a way that most benefits them – and not you.

Most lenders will pay a larger commission for a car that is sold at a higher price and for a loan that is established at a higher APR.
