5 Tips For Getting A Car Loan Fast

No one likes to waste time, especially not when you're trying to get a new car loan. Luckily, there are a number of ways you can speed up the process of getting a loan for your new car.

Here are some tips which everyone, regardless of credit score or history, can use to save time when getting a loan:

1) Get your paperwork together. To prove your income, you'll need your most recent paystub. To prove your residence, you'll need your most recent phone, electric, or cable bill. Finally, if you have any credit problems like collections, bankruptcies, or leftovers from a messy divorce, get that paperwork together too. Put everything in an envelope and bring it with you when you go to see your lender - that way you'll only have to make one trip.

2) Get references. You'll probably need to give your lender the names, addresses and phone numbers of at least three friends or family members not in your household. Finding this information ahead of time will save you time when you're completing your application, and you won't have to stress to figure it all out on the spot.

3) Talk to your boss, office manager, or human resources department. When you apply for an auto loan, most lenders will call and verify your employment. Let the person in charge of employment verification know that you're expecting an auto lender to call about you - that way they'll be ready to provide what the bank needs quickly and accurately.

4) If you have a trade-in, find out your exact payoff. Many times, when people apply for an auto loan, they estimate their trade-in payoff. The trouble with estimating your payoff is that your new lender may use your estimate as an exact value. If your payoff is actually substantially higher than you estimated, your loan may need to be re-approved for a higher amount. If your payoff is lower than you estimated, your interest rate might be higher than it should be. Save everyone some time (and yourself some money) and find out your exact payoff before you apply for a new loan.

5) Be as honest and accurate as you can. You'll need to list information such as former residences and employers when completing your loan application. If everything is accurate, then your application will be processed quickly. If there's a lie or inaccuracy, however, the lender will likely find out, and this will negatively affect your application. The consequences of an untruthful application can range from a long delay in your processing time as the lender checks everything on your application, to your loan being denied outright.
