Pre-qualification is a quick review of your credit, income, and financial profile that gives you a realistic monthly payment *before* you shop. It's the bridge between 'what's the offer?' and 'what will I actually pay each month?' When you combine pre-qual with a trade-in and current incentives, you see your true out-the-door cost.

**The process:**

1. **Call (877) 331-4442** or visit https://www.boballenmotormall.com to start online.
2. Provide basic info (income, debts, how much you want to finance).
3. The finance team gives you a pre-qual range, then applies it to real vehicles and current offers.
4. When you're ready, final approval locks in your rate and terms.

Pre-qual takes 10-15 minutes and removes guesswork. Let's get you a real number.
