Our Finance team makes the lending process clear and straightforward-from application to approval and closing.

**The Steps**

First, you'll complete a finance application. You'll provide basic personal information, employment details, and financial background (income, debts, credit history). Our Finance team uses this to explore loan options from multiple lenders, giving you competitive rates and terms.

Next, we'll present your options. You'll see the loan amount, interest rate (APR), monthly payment, and loan term. If you have a trade-in, its value reduces what you need to borrow.

Once you choose a loan, we move to closing. You'll review and sign paperwork, finalize your down payment, and drive home in your new vehicle.

**Timeline**

Typically, approval takes minutes to a few hours. Pre-approval before you shop speeds things up even more.

**Next Steps**

Get pre-approved before shopping, or call our Finance team at **(877) 331-4442** to discuss your situation and see what rates and terms are available to you.
