If you're pre-approved by one of these institutions, we handle the paperwork to ensure you receive the same terms right here. Our ultimate goal is straightforward: to secure the best rate available so you can drive home in a new Toyota Highlander or Camry that you'll love.
Can I Still Finance a Car with a Low Credit Score?
Absolutely! Regardless of your credit standing, we have specialized processes and partners to help. Our dealership collaborates with a variety of lenders, offering programs that are designed to set you up for success in financing your vehicle.
Can I Add a Warranty When I Buy a Car?
Yes, adding a warranty is an option at the time of purchase, and we offer several selections. Even if your car is still under the factory warranty, you can return at a later date to add more coverage. Whether it's on the day of purchase or after some time, as long as your car meets certain criteria, you can always opt for extended warranty protection.
How Do I Find the Value of My Trade-In?
For a trade-in evaluation, you can bring your vehicle to Mike Erdman Toyota. Our experienced team will assess its value based on key factors like condition, mileage and history. Alternatively, you can use our online value your trade tool to get an estimated monetary value for your trade-in.
What's the Best Length for a Car Loan?
From a financial perspective, shorter loan terms are generally preferable since they reduce the amount of interest paid over time. However, they come with higher monthly payments, which is why many find longer terms more manageable due to lower monthly installments.
Does My Credit Score Impact My Loan Rate?
Indeed, your credit score significantly impacts the interest rate you're eligible for. Higher scores typically translate to more favorable loan terms.
How Do I Get the Best Interest Rate?
Securing the best interest rate involves exploring numerous options. Doing some research before you visit the dealership can empower you to make the best decision. Being informed is your key to becoming a savvy car buyer.
