Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

APPROVING BANK: Ford Motor Credit (was aproved through Cap One at 10.45%)
BUREAU PULLED: Equifax/Transunion
CREDIT SCORE: 549/567
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE: Maryland
NEW/USED: New
YEAR OF VEHICLE: 2013
MAKE: Ford
MODEL: Focus SE
MILEAGE: 4
RETAIL/LEASE: Retail
AMOUNT OF LOAN: 24,970
TERM CONTRACTED: 60
APR/LEASE RATE: 0% !!
MONTHLY PAYMENT: 416.17
ANNUAL INCOME: 102,000
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO: 20%
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Originally had blank check from Cap One at a rate of 10.45%. After looking at car dealer said they could beat it. So once back in F&I the guy said that I could get 0% with the extended warranty and service contract or 7.7 without. Also, they required $1,000 down which I could not pay for another 4 days. So, I signed contract that was contingent upon financing within 30 days due to the fact that I still had to pay down payment. Took the car home and that's when I started reading about spot delivery scams and so forth. When I went back to dealer to pay the down payment I spoke to F&I guy about the fact that I was nervous about financing and would like to see something saying approved. He showed me a paper that said I was approved (I think it was some computer system where they talk to FMC) I paid the down payment and waited to hear from FMC. I checked their phone line with my social security number a few days after making down payment and it showed that I was in their system as owing 24,970 with first payment in June. It also just showed up on my credit report, so I am approved at that rate.

 Now I am in the process of cancelling the extended warranty and service contract. I was charged almost $3,000 for the extended warranty alone! I know I signed the papers and saw it on there and was a fool for signing it. Quite frankly I was in shock due to the 0% financing and lost track of the bottom line. A little research showed that I can get that same warranty for $900 bucks from another dealer online. So, those will be getting cancelled dropping the amount owed to 20,000. Probably paid to much for the car, but I chalk it up to live and learn for next time.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

APPROVING BANK: NFCU
BUREAU PULLED:  EQ
CREDIT SCORE: 720
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE:  CA
NEW/USED:  New
YEAR OF VEHICLE:  2013
MAKE:   Audi
MODEL:  Q5 (2.0 Premium Plus)
MILEAGE:  0
RETAIL/LEASE:  Cost before taxes/DMV Charge:  $45,683  --- Cost including tax and DMV:  $50,427
AMOUNT OF LOAN:  Approved for $40,000 but not sure how much I'll put down
TERM CONTRACTED:  60 months
APR/LEASE RATE:  1.79%
MONTHLY PAYMENT:   TBD based on amount down
ANNUAL INCOME:  $211k
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO:  1%
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY:   I applied over the phone because I have a Fraud Alert on my account so I knew they'd need to ask me VERID questions.  I got conditional approval but they wanted me to fax in my last 2 paystubs.  (This surprised me because when I signed up for membership they pulled my salary info from The Work Report.)  

This is the first new car I've had in about 16 years and definitely the nicest!  I got the 2.0 Premium version and then got almost every upgrade except for bigger wheels, Sport seats, rearside airbags and rear seat entertainment system (who needs it...all the kids have iPads.)

They didn't have the one I wanted anywhere in Northern California (apparently the Q5s are selling as fast as they get them on the lot) so I had to order one that's on a boat.  Should be here around the 22nd,  Can't wait!!

0% with those scores is excellent if you can get out of the extras.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

APPROVING BANK: Honda Financial Services
BUREAU PULLED: Experian
CREDIT SCORE: 654
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE: MA
NEW/USED: New
YEAR OF VEHICLE: 2013
MAKE: Honda
MODEL: Accord
MILEAGE: 134
RETAIL/LEASE: Retail
AMOUNT OF LOAN: $30040.52 (includes tax, title fees, and extended warranty)
TERM CONTRACTED: 72 mos
APR/LEASE RATE: 5.69%
MONTHLY PAYMENT: $494.64
ANNUAL INCOME: 55k
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO: 45% (including rent)
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: In 2010, I had bought a used 2009 Altima financed under Santander and my APR was 19.1% due to my credit score; I had just started to build my credit. My payment was $485.89 a month. Never had any issues with them and I was actually three months ahead in my payments. I got to into a car accident last summer and the car has never been the same. I recently had a spur of the moment and decided to trade it in for a new one with no down payment. With the mileage I had put on the Altima and the accident, I was only expecting $4,000 for it. The dealer offered $6000 for it and I had a remaining balance on the loan of $6055 with Santander. After going back and forth with the Sales Person, I was only willing to put down $500 because I wanted my car payment to either be $500 or less. I had originally signed the contract for an APR of 9.18% (I was fine with because it was better than 19.1%) and my payment was calculated a little over $500. After talking for a half hour with the finance director, he stated he is waiting on a response from another bank for the rate. Transferred my plates and took the car home. He called me the next day and Honda Financial Services lowered my rate to 5.69% which dropped my payments. I was happy and managed to stay within my budget. Smiley Happy

Pay extra each month and carry good insurance. Don't get into that bad situation again.

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Pleased but a little suprprised by our scores. Came back about 40 pts lower than Credit Karma and MyFico, not sure why the big difference. Nevertheless, I'm ok with this rate and will give the dealer a chance to beat once we actually buy. My credit union has an online app also, but so far it is in "processing" mode.

Yeah, I don't know either, it's my 2nd auto loan and it's the same rate I had on the car I traded in for it, so I didn't complain too much. I bank with NFCU and may see about a refi before too long.
