Here at Scott Family of Dealerships in Allentown, PA, we make it our mission to provide stress-free, transparent financing. Our finance team is here to guide you whether it’s your first vehicle, you’re upgrading to something newer, or you’re simply looking for a budget-friendly option.

In this guide, we’ve created a list of tips to help you feel confident about financing a pre-owned vehicle with us.

Check Your Budget Before You Browse

It’s easy to get attached to a vehicle once you’ve taken it for a spin. That’s why it’s smart to start with your monthly budget first. Most experts recommend keeping your vehicle payment around 10–15 percent of your monthly take-home pay. Be sure to factor in insurance, fuel, and maintenance so you get a complete picture.

When you sit down with our team, we’ll show you how different payment plans line up with your budget so you can make the best decision for your lifestyle.

Understand How Credit Impacts Your Loan

Your credit score plays a big role in determining your interest rate and loan terms. Higher scores often mean lower rates, but there’s no need to panic if you’re just starting to build credit or you’re not where you want to be yet. At Scott Family of Dealerships, we work with a broad network of lenders across the region to help drivers with all kinds of credit find financing solutions – even if they’ve faced challenges in the past.

It’s important to know your credit score before applying. Clearing up any errors that could be holding you back will help you get a better idea of your financing options.

Get Pre-Approved for Extra Confidence

Pre-approval is one of the best ways to get peace of mind when shopping. It shows you how much you’re approved to borrow, speeds up the process once you choose a vehicle, and gives you a stronger position when discussing terms.

Our secure online finance application makes getting pre-approved quick and easy – you can start from the comfort of your home and arrive at the dealership with a head start.

Pick a Loan Term That Fits Your Needs

Vehicle loans can range anywhere from 36 to 72 months or more. A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments but less total interest. A longer loan stretches out payments, making them more manageable each month, but you’ll pay more interest over time.

Our finance team will walk you through the pros and cons of each option so you can find the right balance between affordability now and savings later.

Use a Down Payment or Trade-In to Lower Costs

The more you put down up front, the less you’ll need to finance. Even a modest down payment can make a big difference in your monthly payment and the total amount of interest paid. If you don’t have cash set aside, trading in your current vehicle is another great way to reduce the cost.

At Scott Family of Dealerships, we provide instant trade-in appraisals, so you’ll know your vehicle’s value and how it can help you save on your next vehicle.

Ask About Certified Pre-Owned Options

If you’re financing a used vehicle, consider a Certified Pre-Owned model. These vehicles have gone through a detailed inspection and include factory-backed warranties and extra benefits like roadside assistance. Because of their added reliability, lenders often offer better financing terms on Certified Pre-Owned vehicles compared to standard pre-owned vehicles.
