will make. Most people would love to be able to pay cash for their new car
however, the reality, is most people will have to finance their car, new or used,
and pay it off over several years. Since a loan accrues interest overtime, it’s
important you know what you are getting into and what to look for. Del Toro
Auto Sales is here to help and inform you of a few important items you should
know about:
Know your Credit Score
When creditors look at financing you an auto loan, your credit score is the single
most important factor. It will help lenders determine the type and how much they
will loan you regardless if it’s a bank, auto loan dealer or dealership, your rate is
predicated upon your credit score.
However not all lenders will use the same scoring systems depending on the
criteria of different companies which some companies may have alternate
minimum criteria than others to qualify for a loan and this depends on which
company is providing financing.
If you don’t know your credit score you can visit annualcreditreport.com to
access a copy of your report from the three main reporting bureaus and it’s free
one time per year. This will allow you to view your finically history; who you owe
money to, if you have defaulted etc. If something is not accurate on your report
be sure to get this remedied by calling the reporting lender.
Apply For Loans During A 14-day Time Span
When lenders pull your credit to view your financial history, your credit score will
slightly decrease. So with this, what most lenders won’t tell you, keep your
application process within a two-week period to help decrease the negative
impact on our credit score. This happens because the shopping for FICO scoring
is 14 days at a time so all inquiries within this time frame of 14 days is only
considered one inquiry, therefore decreasing the impact of your score.

lot and begin shopping. At Del Toro Auto Sales in Auburn you can visit us online,

much you will be approved for. You can then visit our extensive used car

Calculate Your Loan Before Saying Yes
The main factor to note when purchasing a loan is the total amount of money you
will need to purchase your car, whether you need a down payment, how much out
of pocket you need and the term of the loan. Visit Del Toro Auto Sale’s website
and use the loan payment calculator to determine your monthly payment, or play
with the numbers. This may help save you thousands of dollars throughout the
years. We at Del Toro Auto Sales are here to help you get into a loan you are
