Frequently Asked Questions

Does submitting an application guarantee I'll get financing?

Your application is matched to local dealers who will review your information and contact you with financing options. Each dealer will provide offers based on your situation and their lending criteria. Over 95% of applicants receive at least one financing offer.

How long will it take to hear from dealers?

Dealers typically contact applicants within 24-48 hours of receiving the application. High-priority applications may receive contact within hours. Dealers will reach out via phone or email with financing options tailored to your situation.

Will submitting an application affect my credit score?

Submitting your application does not impact your credit score. Dealers will review your information and may perform a soft inquiry initially. Only when you choose to move forward with a specific dealer and finalize your loan will a hard inquiry be performed.
