Pre Approved Auto Loan

Why & Where
to Get Your Loan to
Buy Like A Cash Buyer


Get a pre approved auto loan...
The 2nd of 11 essential steps in the car buying guide


Arranging your own financing can and, more than likely, will save you thousands! Car dealerships can profit Big Time when you allow them to arrange financing for you.

Most consumers do not realize just how big a profit center the Finance Office is for a car dealership.

Below I'd like to show you 3 major reasons to get pre approved and a little further down, some places to get your approval.


3 Reasons To Get A
Pre Approved Auto Loan

1) You Eliminate Any Rate Mark Up

What this means is if a dealer were able to get a 5.9% buy rate from a lender, the lender will, on average, allow a two point markup.

This means the dealership could sell the loan to you at 7.9%, and over the term of the loan this could equate to hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in profits that you paid unnecessarily to the dealer.


2) Allows You To "Buy Like a Cash Buyer"

Buying like a cash buyer greatly increases the leverage you have when negotiating the best possible deal.

I recently observed the last 60 deals at my dealership, and found that cash buyers paid over $2500 less per car deal, compared to those that financed.

If that's not a call to action, I don't know what is!

When you are able to "Buy Like a Cash Buyer" you don't have to worry about negotiating monthly payments, but you can instead focus on the Out The Door Amount.

This powerful method of negotiating is usually why these customers have the cash to pay for vehicles. They focus on the bottom line figures and not monthly payments.


3) Make The Dealer Compete For Your Financing

Yes, I know I just gave you some pretty convincing reasons to secure your own auto loan, but if you're approved from your source for 6.9% and the dealer can offer 5.9%, take the 5.9%.

Who cares if they are making a small profit, they just saved you a bunch of money. Better yet, you just saved yourself a bunch of money, because you forced the dealer to give you their most competitive rates.

This was all due to you doing the smart thing and getting a pre approved auto loan.
