Get Ready to Apply for Auto Financing

When you apply for auto financing, lenders consider several factors when reviewing your application and determining your available loan terms. These can include:

Credit score and credit history
Income and employment history
Debt-to-income ratio
Down payment or trade-in value
Loan amount requested
Vehicle price and amount being financed
Length of the loan term

Every financing situation is different, so rates and terms vary from one applicant to another. Take a look at your budget and have your financial information ready before submitting your application to help you better understand your options.

Is Financing or Leasing Right for You?

When deciding whether to lease or finance your next Chevrolet, we recommend thinking about how long you plan to keep it and how much you typically drive.

With leasing, you agree to drive a vehicle for a set term and mileage allowance rather than purchasing it outright. Think of it as renting, with the option to return the vehicle, purchase it, or choose another model once the lease term is up.

Financing means that you’ll take out an auto loan and make payments based on the terms of that loan. Once it is paid in full, the Chevrolet is yours to keep, sell, or trade. You won't have the mileage limits typically associated with a lease, and you’re free to modify your vehicle as you see fit.

So, which option is right for you? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Financing or leasing may make more sense depending on your personal situation and what you want from your vehicle.

Make Your Trade-In Part of Your Next Purchase

Your current vehicle can help with your next purchase, whether you plan to trade it in or sell it separately. If you trade your vehicle at Mike Reichenbach Chevrolet, you can apply its appraised value toward your purchase. Keep in mind that if there is still a balance on your current auto loan, the payoff amount will also need to be factored into the transaction.

Chevrolet Financing FAQ

Can I apply for Chevy financing online?

Yes. You can fill out our online finance application from home to get a head start before visiting Mike Reichenbach Chevrolet in Okatie.

Can I finance a pre-owned vehicle?

Yes, financing may be available for qualifying pre-owned vehicles as well as new Chevrolet models. Rates and terms vary based on the vehicle, lender, and application.

How much should I put down on a Chevrolet?

The answer is different for everyone. The larger the down payment, the lower your monthly payment. When deciding how much to put down, it’s important to consider your entire financial situation instead of just putting down as much as possible.

What determines my monthly car payment?

Your monthly car payment depends on the amount you finance, your interest rate, and your loan term (the length of your loan). Your down payment is also a big factor in how much you need to finance, and therefore, your payment.

Can I trade in a vehicle that I still owe money on?

Yes, you can generally trade in a vehicle that you are still paying off. We'll compare its appraised value with your payoff amount, and you'll need to cover any remaining balance.

Does getting pre-qualified mean I’m approved for an auto loan?

No. Pre-qualification gives you an idea of potential financing options, but the lender will determine final approval and your terms after reviewing your final application.

Can I get auto financing with limited credit history?

You can still apply for auto financing with limited credit history. Approval and available terms will depend on the lender and your individual application.

Can I pay off my car loan early?

Yes! You may be able to pay off your car loan early without penalties. It’s important to review your loan agreement or ask your lender about any conditions or prepayment penalties.
