Hello,
I'm a resident of Delaware, but i reside 3-4 months out of the year in california for vacation. I want to buy a car in about 4-5 months, that will stay in California all year long and i was told CU have the best rates.
Now my question is like that. Should i join a CU in my resident state or in the state i want to buy the car? Does it make any difference ?
I can join easily some CU in Delaware because i meet the requirements to join, but i haven't found yet any CU in California were i meet the requirements, because obviously i don't live there or am part of any organisation they request.
Does anybody know a CU in California that I could join without being a californian resident? Or any CU that is nationwide ?
Any help would be great
Thanks
It does not matter. Once you are a member of a CU (in most cases) you can utilize their services from any location in the future. But, def. check with the CU before joining.

if your in the San Diego area i would look in to California Coast Credit Union i just refi'd my car with them and they have great rates! 675+ is 2.9% and 700+ is 1.9%. Great customer service too
Good choice on joining a CU! I refinanced my civic this past month, and the rate reduction was huge! My CU here in Houston knew my name the second time I walked in. I love the smaller scale and the customer service is fantastic. They also offered me a CC with 0% BT for 12 months. Im in the garden right now so no new accounts, but congrats on joining and already having secured financing so gives you the upper hand in purchasing your vehicle. Keep us updated!
