5 Time-saving Tips for Car Loans

Most people don't have very much time to spend getting a car loan. If you don't have much time to get the loan that you need to buy your new vehicle, there are several things you can do that will help you get your car loan fast.

Whether your credit is bad or good, you can benefit from these five time-saving tips:

1) Gather up all your paperwork. You will need a paystub to prove your income. You will also need a recent electric, cable, or phone bill to prove your residence. Paperwork will be required if you have problems with your credit like bankruptcy or collections. If you have issues resulting from a messy divorce, bring that paperwork too. Collect all this paperwork in an envelope or file and take it when you go to lender's office. Otherwise, you will waste time making more than one trip.

2) Most likely, you will be required to provide three or more personal references when you apply for an auto loan. Your personal references should be relatives or friends who do not live with you. Write down their names, addresses, and phone numbers ahead of time so that you won't have to spend time on this as you fill out your loan application.

3) Most of the time, lenders call and verify your employment when you apply for a car loan. Tell your boss, the manager of your office, the human resources department or whomever is in charge of employment verification to expect a call from the lender. Then they will be able to quickly and accurately give the lender whatever information they have requested.

4) If you have a trade-in, you should find out the exact payoff amount rather than estimate it. Many people estimate their payoff, which either costs them more money or wastes more time. When you estimate your payoff, the lender may calculate your interest rate as if it were the actual payoff. If the exact payoff amount is lower than your estimate, your interest rate will be higher than it could have been. If your lender approves you for a loan amount that is based on your estimated payoff, you will have to be re-approved if the actual payoff is significantly higher. Finding out the exact payoff amount before you apply for a new loan could save you time or money.

5) Make sure you're as truthful and accurate as possible. When you complete your credit application, you may need to list former residences, former employers, etc. If you accurately list all this information, your application will be processed quickly. Also, if you lie about some aspect of your credit, there's a good chance the auto lender will find out. At best, this will slow down your application considerably as the lender checks every aspect of your credit. At worst, your application will be turned-down.

You will get your loan processed as efficiently and quickly as it possibly can if you follow these five tips.
