Applying for automotive financing can be an intimidating process. However, with a little preparation and help from our Subaru finance team, you can ace your credit application. Make sure to avoid these mistakes for an easy application process with Mid-Hudson Subaru.

Skipping Pre-Financing

Applying for pre-financing is a great way to get a sense of what kind of financing offers to expect while car shopping. Just use our online application to enter your financial information and you’ll receive a snapshot of how much to expect to be approved for at the dealership. Then, you can shop for your new car knowing exactly how much you can afford.

Focusing on the Monthly Payment

A lot of drivers focus on reducing their monthly payment as much as possible, but that’s not the only factor to consider when choosing a financing plan. Keep in mind that longer terms mean more interest, so you will end up paying more over the course of the loan. A good rule of thumb is to avoid any plan that would take more than four years to pay off.

Not Checking Your Credit Report

If you haven’t kept on top of your credit history, make sure to check it before you head to our dealership. Take a look at your score and read through your credit history. Credit report bureaus sometimes make mistakes and recent debt payments won’t appear immediately, so make sure that your report is telling the full story and bring any documentation you need to correct it.
