Our Process

Once you’ve chosen the vehicle that you want, our team gets right to work finding the best method for you to finance it. We will sit down with you to discuss these options and learn more about your needs.

Based on the information that you provide, we’ll build the foundation of your plan and gather your options to present to you. During the process, we can answer any questions you have. We will focus on making this process as comfortable as possible and giving you the confidence you deserve in your plan.

Buying vs Leasing

Drivers typically have two methods they can choose from to find a plan that works for them. You can buy or lease the vehicle you want. Both methods can provide different benefits.

When you choose to buy, you’ll have the vehicle that you want and make a long-term commitment to it. You’ll take out an auto loan and make monthly payments as the owner of the vehicle. This also allows you to customize it in any way you like.

When you lease a vehicle, you make a short-term commitment that usually lasts two or three years. During that time, the dealership retains ownership, so you only pay the value of the vehicle as you drive it. This can lead to lower monthly payments.

You also have options when your lease expires. You can choose to purchase the vehicle at that time or return it to the dealership and take out a new lease on a new model.

Use Our Online Tools

Another part of the car-shopping experience is using our online resources. Before you visit us at our finance center, you can start your journey toward getting the new vehicle you want, with the help of these tools.

You can be pre-approved for an auto loan before you visit by filling out the online finance application. This allows our team to get started on building your plan. We’ll look for the right options for you as you finalize your search and see which models can be best suited for your budget.

If you have a vehicle you want to trade in, you can also get an estimated value for it before you visit. Using the Value My Trade tool, enter basic information about your vehicle and its overall condition. You will then be given an estimate for the value you deserve to get in return for it. This can help you know the amount you could use toward your new car purchase.
