Most people don't have very much time to spend getting a car loan. If you don't have much time to get the loan that you need to buy your new vehicle, there are several things you can do that will help you get your car loan fast. Regardless of your credit score or credit history, here are some tips you can use to save time: 1) Gather up all your paperwork. You will need a paystub to prove your income. You will also need a recent electric, cable, or phone bill to prove your residence. Paperwork will be required if you have problems with your credit like bankruptcy or collections. If you have issues resulting from a messy divorce, bring that paperwork too. Collect all this paperwork in an envelope or file and take it when you go to lender's office. Otherwise, you will waste time making more than one trip. 2) Most loan applications ask for three or more personal references, friends or relatives that do not live with you. Don't be one of those people who scrambles around looking for the name, addresses, and phone numbers of their personal references while they are filling out their application. Write down their information beforehand, and you will save a lot of time when you complete your loan application. 3) Most lenders will verify your employment by calling your office manager, boss, or your company's human resources department. If you tell whomever is in charge of employment verification that an auto lender is going to call them, they will be able to quickly provide accurate information to the bank. 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 accurate and truthful as you possibly can. You may be required to list former residences, former employers, etc. when you fill out your credit application. Accurately listing this information on your application will lead to faster processing. Don't lie on your credit because, more than likely, your auto lender will find out and then check every other aspect of your credit. This will considerably slow your application approval or cause your application to be turned-down. Next time you apply for a car, follow these five tips for fast and efficient car loan processing.
