0% Dealer Financing vs. Stanford FCU Financing

Take Stanford FCU financing over 0% dealer financing and save!

When car manufacturers and dealers offer super low rates, they almost always give the option of getting a rebate instead. We say, ‘Take the rebate!’ Even though a 0% APR may seem too good to pass up, an auto loan from Stanford FCU combined with the dealer rebate is often the better deal.
Here’s an example:

Financing comparison chart

  0% Dealer Financing 3.24% APR Stanford FCU Loan
Information shown is for illustration purposes only.
Dealer Rebate $0 $2,500
Loan Term 36 months 36 months
Loan Amount $36,000 $33,500
Monthly Payment $1,000 $977.77
Total Payments for Life of Loan $36,000.00 $35,199.63
Total Savings for Life of Loan $0 $800.37

As you can see, the cost of the below-market dealer financing is ultimately reflected in the final price you pay for the car. Don’t forget, you can always opt for a longer loan term at Stanford FCU, which will lower your payments even more.

For a super-fast pre-approval, apply online. When you complete your loan application online, you will get an answer in less than a minute! Print the “Approval Screen,” bring it with you when you shop and you’ll have more leverage when it’s time to negotiate price!
