How Does Financing a Car Work? | What to Expect

If you’ve never purchased a vehicle before, or you just need a refresher on how car finance works, we’ve got you covered. At other dealerships in the Brewton area, financing a vehicle can be stressful. You often have to sit in a finance center for hours providing paperwork and going through terms and conditions.

However, we do things differently at the Lee Motor Company finance center. Financing a car with us is straightforward and we thoroughly go over your paperwork with you. Here’s how car finance works when you come to our finance center:

  • Information/Factors Required: To begin financing a car, you’ll want to apply for financing with our secure online application. We’ll need a couple of pieces of information and we’ll look over your credit score, loan amount, loan duration, debt-to-income ratio, and a couple of other things.
  • Pick a Lender: After you’ve been approved for a loan, you can begin looking for a lender. Most shoppers choose to get in-house financing at a dealership or go through their personal bank or credit union. No matter which option you choose, just make sure it’s a good fit for your needs.
  • Confirm Loan: Once you’ve found the right lender, complete the negotiations and necessary paperwork for your new vehicle.
