Instead of obtaining a “pre-approval”, our team works with the appropriate underwriting department directly to secure a final approval for your request. This process locks in rates for 45-60 days, depending on the program/lender. If you find yourself needing to request a change to the collateral or the dollar amount, we can easily make the request to the lender for consideration at that time.
Our team receives your application (either by fax, email, phone, or secured online portal) and reviews in detail. We contact you directly within 20-30 minutes to review options available based on credit history, collateral, and dollar amount requested. Once an approval is secured from the appropriate underwriting department and all items needed have been collected, we facilitate loan documents. The documents are then sent to you to be completed and returned. Generally speaking, we’re able to release funds within 24-48 hours.
Yes, the loan documents provided by the lender will require completion of an “Agreement to Title”. By signing this document you are guaranteeing the lender that you will complete registration/titling on the vehicle within 30 days of taking delivery. We have a dedicated title department who contacts you to hold your hand through this process to make it as easy as possible!
There is no upfront cost to submit your request. Applicable fees vary per program. Associated fees are determined based on state processing requirements, sales tax, and tag/titling fees. All costs are disclosed in full detail upon approval.
The lenders require that you provide proof of insurance on a guaranteed or agreed value policy. Deductibles can be no greater than $500 and the lien holder (provided upon approval) must be listed.
