Used Car Financing FAQs
01
Should I finance a used car?
Financing a used car can be a smart decision. By applying for auto financing, you can spread out the cost of the vehicle over time, making it easier to manage your finances and potentially allowing you to afford a higher-quality vehicle than you could if paying upfront.
Additionally, used cars often have lower insurance rates and less depreciation compared to new cars, providing you with better value over the term of your loan.
02
What is a good used car loan rate?
Although rates tend to fluctuate over time, a good used car loan rate typically falls between 3% and 10%. The rate you qualify for will depend on various factors, including your credit score, the loan term and the lender's criteria.
At the Pallotta Ford finance center, we have connections with various auto credit lenders, ensuring that we’re able to pair you with the best rates you qualify for. Schedule a meeting with one of our local Ford financial advisors today.
03
How much should I put down for a used car?
The amount you should put down for a used car varies based on your financial situation and comfort level, but a common recommendation is to aim for 10% to 20% of the car’s purchase price. This down payment can help reduce your monthly payments and interest charges over the life of the loan.
You can also lower your down payment by trading in your car to our dealership. Value your trade-in online and schedule an in-person used car appraisal at Pallotta Ford.
