Before Applying For A Car loan

Before you take a car loan you need to understand how it will affect your life. Cars are expensive and cost $15,000 to $100,000. It is a long term financial commitment and should be entered after due consideration. Most car loans are for five to seven years and offer a moderate rate of interest, usually about 12%. You will be required to pay some amount as down payment when you buy the car and this may effect the loan term or the rate of interest on the loan.

timeframe for loan process - In general, it should not take more than 10 - 12 weeks once the lender has your loan package. Unfortunately, I have heard horror stories where 4 - 6 months after the person submitted their loan package, they still have not closed on their loan and some cannot even get in touch with the lender for an update. (not with my business and the lenders we deal with, but others have told me this when they contacted us after they were fed up with their current lender). I think it's dependendent upon whether or not you have gone to the right lender for your type of business loan and also dependent upon whether you have packaged the loan properly. When a loan has not been packaged properly, lenders will not even review it. It can sit on their desk for any legnth of time before they get around to sending it back to you "declined" (for improper packaging). It's best to have your loan professionally packaged. That's the beauty of dealing with a loan broker or other professional who provides this type of service. It's best to seek out professionals who specialize in your specific type of business loan. The loan goes through diffrent stages. The first stage is the initial review by the lender, where the Lender will decide if you are favorable for loan approval. If you are, the loan will be sent onto the underwriters and you may or may not receive a proposal letter from the lender (it depends upon the lender). this letter may need to be signed and returned. The lenders initial review should take anywhere from 5- 10 business days. The second stage, is the underwriters review where your loan with either be approved or denied. This is a crucial stage and can take about 3- 4 weeks. Once approved you will receive an approval letter that needs to be reveiwed by you (or your lawyer) carefully. this letter needs to be signed and returned in order for your loan to go through the final stage. The third and final stage is your loan closing. This is where everything is finalized so they can fund. This stage can take another 3 - 4 weeks. Keep in mind that if you are dealing with a loan broker, you should add another 2 - 3 weeks to your loan timeframe as it will take about this long for the loan broker to gather and process all your documentation and package it and get it off to the lender (this includes delivery time).
