What is involved in having a dealer pay off your old car loan? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Mainly, it's like trading in your old car for a new one. You'll have to be approved for a car and they may give you certain choices to choose from. And another thing is that your car note is most likely to go up, but you know what you're able to afford. And remember if you're thinking about doing this, talk to your salesman to make sure you have all of the details about it before you sign any legal documents.
ADD-ON: The Dealership will take a lot of information about the vehicle, such as the Make/Model, Year, VIN, mileage, options on the vehicle, and wear and tear. They are very picky about about the physical aspect of the vehicle. If you are planning on trading in and getting an expensive vehicle, here is a checklist to get the highest price on your trade in.
1. Mileage. This is a 15/k miles per year deal. IE: In '08 a 2006 vehicle should not have more than 30k miles. Less is even better, but there is a large jump in price if over 15k mi/yr.
2. Dents/dings, and non-stock body parts. A replaced fender is always assumed the part was damaged beyond repair. This deteriorates the trade-in value. Even though the dealership can fix it with 2 hours of a mechanics wage, it is going to cost YOU, the buyer.
Answer
What you are talking about is called a trade-in. Plain and simple and yes dealers have a way of dealing with it as long as you have the right income to debt ratio. 28/36 ratios are the norm. And that you have a decent credit rateing. Then they can still possibly get you financed but at a high interest rate, which could put you in a worse situation. That would mean that your payments can not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income and as long as all your debts,, ( rent, electric, child support, phone, you get the idea) do not exceed more than 36% of your gross monthly income. Dealers don't just pay off loans with out you purchasing another vehicle.
