How Long Does It Take To Get Approved for Financing?
Our Equifax Credit Snapshot tool is super quick, and will provide you with an incredibly quick answer to your credit application. However, the process from applying to picking out and paying for a vehicle can take a bit longer. Below we’ve laid out an approximate timeline of the whole financing process.
The Process of Applying for Vehicle Financing
Financing a new vehicle can be a somewhat stressful process, considering you’re about to make what amounts to the second largest purchase most people make in their lives. We try to remove some of the stress by making the process as simple as possible: browse our inventory, choose a vehicle, and click “Submit a Credit Application”.
What You Need to Apply for a Vehicle Loan
After you’ve gotten your Credit Snapshot, we will need to verify the vehicle loan you’re applying for. There are a few necessary pieces of information you’ll want on hand, to make sure this goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. They are, in no particular order:
- Proof of employment (a letter promising employment also works)
- Proof of income
- Government-issued photo identification (such as a passport, or driver’s license)
- Proof of residence (this can include a bill sent to your address under your name)
From there we may have other questions for you, but these are the four most important pieces of information you can have on hand.
Will A Credit Check Impact My Credit Score?
This is a bit of a myth we’d like to dispel. A single credit check via our tool will have zero impact on your credit score. However, if you’re shopping for the best deal and submitting multiple credit checks from multiple dealerships, you do run a risk of having a negative impact on your credit score.
How Long Does It Take To Finalize Your Vehicle Loan?
Our team will work tirelessly to get your vehicle loan finalized as quickly as possible. However, there are two factors that will impact your financing approval, and they are time and the lender.
- Time: the time you apply will play a factor in when you get approved. If you were to come in five minutes before most banks close on a Friday evening, you may need to wait until the next business day. This is why we always recommend having you come in as early as possible.
- Lender: the lender involved in getting you your vehicle financing loan will play a big part in how quickly you’re approved. For example, vehicle financing loans tend to be a bit lower on a bank’s list of priorities. But at Welland Honda, it’s priority number one.
Leasing Vs. Financing
When it comes to purchasing a new vehicle, you’ve essentially got two options: financing, or leasing (three options, if you include buying it outright).
What Is Vehicle Financing?
Vehicle financing is when you take out a loan from a lender (like Welland Honda) to purchase a vehicle. You’ll make monthly payments over a pre-set term, and you’ll own the vehicle outright once your financing loan has been paid in full.
What Is a Vehicle Lease?
Leasing a vehicle is more like renting a vehicle; you’ll make monthly payments to use the vehicle over a pre-set term, with the option to buy the vehicle after that term is up.
The choice of whether to lease or finance a vehicle is a complicated one, and something that varies greatly depending on your financial situation, your needs, and a host of other factors. You can learn more about the difference between leasing and financing here, to help you decide which option is the best fit for you.
