Man and Woman Signing Contract

If you’re looking for a used car for your Stephenville drives, you might be wondering how to finance a used car, or if you need full coverage insurance. Let’s take a look at this in more detail with the experts at the Bayer Auto Group finance center. For more information, feel free to contact us anytime!

The Facts About Financing a Used Car

Although it is legal in most states to leave the dealership without full coverage, regardless of if it’s new or used, many lenders will require full coverage to protect their investment. In most cases, the investors or banks you use to finance the used car will require full coverage on the vehicle whether it is used or new.

When learning how to finance a used car, you’ll see that there are term agreements that determine the conditions of the lease, such as the length of time to pay back the loan. This means that if you have a loan for 48 months, the lender will have the title to the vehicle until it’s paid off. 

Regardless of whether you’re financing a new or used car, most lenders will state in the contract that full coverage is to be added throughout the term of the loan. Therefore, you would need full coverage on your vehicle for the 48 month period. 

How Many Years Can You Finance a Used Car? 

So, how many years can you finance a used car for your drives around Brownwood? When you find a used vehicle that fits your needs, our expert finance team will begin contacting lenders to start the buying process. Here are a few things you will need to provide to them:

  • Valid Driver’s License
  • Valid Car Insurance Card
  • Any supporting financial documentation (i.e. last two pay stubs)
  • Any existing vehicle documentation for your current vehicle (if applicable)

Once you’ve found a lender, our finance team will tell you what the lender is willing to offer in terms of the finance period. Important factors such as credit score and down payment will significantly affect the finance period the lender is willing to offer.

Our helpful finance team will help you throughout every stage of this process, and ensure you leave our Comanche dealership with a monthly payment you’re comfortable with.
