You've found a great Dodge Ram 50 Pickup. Now you want to finance it. Where to begin? This is the best place, right here. We are your Dodge Ram 50-dedicated Finance page.
When you shop for financing, you have a number of options. Your first option is to pay cash for your Dodge Ram 50. Save your money and buy the vehicle outright. You can often get a rock-bottom price for cash.
But most buyers have to borrow the money. For this you can go to auto-finance companies, banks, or credit unions. Leasing is not an option for a used Dodge Ram 50. (If you find a new Dodge Ram 50 somewhere, buy it. It is already a classic.)
You will be looking at borrowing at used car rates. Used car rates are as a rule higher than new vehicle rates, so be prepared to spend more money on your loan, comparatively speaking. While some new car rates are as low as 0% on special promotions, used vehicle rates can go as high as 8% or 9%.
When you shop, know how much money you will be borrowing. This amount will most likely be the purchase price minus the down payment but plus any additional service fees, sales tax and license fees. Then compare interest rates and "term" of the loan (for how long you will borrow the money).
Obviously the larger the down payment, the less you will have to borrow. (If you borrow less money, the less interest you have to pay, too.) Equally obvious, the shorter the loan period the less interest you will have to pay.
Start your research if you can before you start negotiating the price of your Dodge Ram 50 purchase. Being armed with all of the knowledge you can get is a good idea. The alternative is entering the deal without knowledge and getting talked into borrowing from the dealer or a local auto finance company. Before you know it, you are paying interest rates three or four points higher than you need to just because you signed up at the dealership.
Check your credit record, too, before starting the loan process. Clear up any errors on it. For example, your record may have someone else's information on it. Or data that is not accurate. Pay off outstanding debt if possible before you apply for your loan. This will boost your credit score. A high credit score will make you eligible for more money at lower interest rates.
