I am looking for a new toyota with $23000 sticker price. I am willing to put 20-25% cash down.
Where should I look for a 4 year auto loan?
I am worried length of my credit history is too low… and the 3 late payments are not helping either… any chance of getting pre-approved from BOA/Chase/Capital One? Or should I go for CreditUnions without even looking for big banks? Please help, Thanks a lotThanks so much, LiMirth... I currenrtly have savings account with BOA ..... If I open an account with a credit union and transfer most of my balances, will that help me get a loan from them ? How soon can I apply ?
Thanks again
Giving a credit union a significant portion of your business wouldn't hurt at all, that's for sure! But, as for how soon you can apply, that's going to depend on the credit union. Alliant and NFCU offered great deals upon opening accounts with them. If you don't get an automatic/pre-approved offer, ask a loan officer right away (maybe you can avoid multiple pulls that way) if you'd be eligible for an auto loan.
Good luck!
Thanks very much LiMirth!!!
I just joined my Alma Mater Credit union and the representative said there is a good chance that I will get approved for a 4 year loan for a 5.5% APR. If it happens, that will be very sweet. I will transfer around 10K of my savings to the credit union and try to get my equifax above 675 before I apply for the loan.
Thanks

I would defintely try a credit union first ,BOA is picky as hell on who they want to give an auto loan too
