Frequently Asked Questions About Chevrolet Financing

Can I secure financing with a lower credit score?

Yes, our team specializes in finding viable paths for individuals with various financial backgrounds. We maintain relationships with a variety of local and national lenders to identify programs that accommodate credit rebuilding, including getting pre-qualified through Capital One, which has no impact to your credit score. If you are navigating a recovery period or establishing history for the first time, our specialists can guide you toward options that fit your current budget while helping you move toward your next vehicle purchase.

How do I apply for an auto loan or lease?

Our financing process is as simple and straightforward as possible. You can start by getting pre-qualified for GM financing. This will give you an idea of the kind of financing you're qualified for. Our finance team will review your application and get in touch with you to discuss your best options.

Should I buy or lease my next Chevrolet?

Whether you buy or lease a Chevy depends entirely on your preferences and priorities as a driver. Leasing is a strong option for drivers who want to lower the up-front and monthly costs of their vehicle, and want a more expensive vehicle for less payment than a purchase, or who like the idea of upgrading to a new vehicle every two to four years, based on the lease term. Financing may be preferable if you expect to put heavy mileage on your vehicle, plan to keep the vehicle for many years, or if you'd like to personalize your vehicle with accessories and other modifications. 

How does a lease work?

GM Financial offers a closed-end lease to residents of Pennsylvania or Maryland. This "walkaway lease" gives you the option to turn-in the vehicle at lease-end without worrying about depreciated value, provided you stay within the mileage limit and have kept the vehicle in good condition. If you turn-in a leased vehicle with extra miles, you simply pay a fee, such as GMF's $.25 per mile for the excess mileage. Most GMF leases use 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles-per-year as the mileage allowance. 

With a closed-end lease, a bank such as GM Financial owns the vehicle while you, as the lessee, temporarily possesses it during the active lease term. There is no acquisition fee when you lease with GMF. You pay the government fees, a doc fee, and the down payment due at signing. Just like when purchasing a vehicle, you are responsible for the cost of insurance, maintenance, and any damage repairs needed on the vehicle while leasing.

If purchasing, Pennsylvania sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the Total Selling Price. If leasing, however, the state only charges a lease tax on the down payment plus the doc fee amount at signing, and then charges a lease tax on each monthly payment made to GMF going forward. This monthly tax is included in your lease payment to GMF.

The vehicle's price, called Net Capitalized Cost in a lease, is determined by starting with the MSRP and subtracting qualifiable GM incentives, negotiated dealer discounts, your down payment, and any trade-in's net value.  GMF also determines a lease-end depreciated value for the vehicle, called the Residual Value, as a percentage of the vehicle's MSRP, based on its year, make, model, trim, features, installed accessories, and the lease term. GMF determines the lease's Money Factor or rate based on your credit tier scoring and other approval factors. GMF calculates the lease payment based on your vehicle's Net Capitalized Cost, minus the Residual Value, times the Money Factor, and then adjusts for the lease term. Your first payment is Due At Signing.

It is common to hear "I love my car. How can I keep it?" With your GMF closed-end lease, you have the option to trade-in or buy-out your leased vehicle early or at lease-end. The payoff amount is calculated as the vehicle's predetermined Residual Value, plus any remaining lease payments, and a GMF termination fee which the dealer could possibly waive.

Can I apply my trade-in offer as a down payment on a new Chevy?

Definitely! Trading in your current vehicle is an effective ways to cover your down payment and lower your monthly car payment. You can use our trade appraisal tool to estimate your current car's value before you visit our Chevrolet dealership.

Why do I have a deficit balance when trading or selling my car?

From the moment you drive away from the dealership and start adding mileage to your odometer, your new vehicle loses value, ages, and therefore begins to depreciate. It is not unusual for your new vehicle to depreciate faster than its loan or open-ended lease can be paid down. Vehicle depreciation can cause a deficit balance where the vehicle is worth less than the amount you owe. When you finance through a conventional loan or an open-ended lease, you must pay off any deficit balance when you sell, trade, or turn in the financed vehicle. You can take the following steps to avoid this deficit dilemma:

• Finance for a very short term with a higher payment so the vehicle is paid off quickly.
• Keep the vehicle for many years until the final payment is made, and the loan or open-ended lease is paid off.
• Increase the number or the dollar amount of your payments throughout the term to keep up with depreciation.
• Or choose to finance with a lender, such as GM Financial, that offers closed-end leases to residents in many states, including Pennsylvania and Maryland. In a closed-end lease, the bank, not you as the lessee, takes responsibility for any deficit balance.

What should I bring to the dealership for the finance process?

To ensure a smooth transition into your new vehicle, please have your valid driver's license, current proof of insurance, and most recent pay stubs available. If you intend to trade in a vehicle, bringing the title or current loan payoff information is also necessary. Having these documents ready allows our staff to finalize your paperwork efficiently so you can spend more time enjoying your car and less time at a desk.
