When it comes to Chevy financing, the more you know, the more confident you’ll be at every step of the process. Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC is sharing a closer look at the top financing terms that you’ll want to familiarize yourself with.

Down Payment

The down payment is the amount that you put down the day you take home your vehicle. The more you put down, the more quickly you’ll be able to pay off your loan, and the less you’ll pay in interest over time. Consider a 20% down payment as recommended by the 20/4/10 guideline.

Interest

Interest is the cost of borrowing a loan. You want to pay your vehicle off quickly so that your accrued interest costs will be lower. Vehicles with longer term lengths tend to have a higher interest rate than vehicles with shorter term lengths.

Credit Score

Your credit score plays an important role in the vehicle financing process. It tells lenders how reliable you are to lend money to, which is why drivers with higher credit scores have more favorable terms. It can be worth it to raise your credit score before you finance.

MSRP

MSRP stands for the manufacturer-suggested retail price, which is the amount of money that the manufacturer believes the dealership should sell the car for. While MSRP can be important, remember that there are always other costs to consider.

Co-Signer

If you don’t have perfect credit or you have a low down payment, you may need the help of a co-signer. A co-signer is a person who agrees to pick up the car payments if the owner fails to do so. You only want to partner with a co-signer who you really trust.

A little bit of Chevy service can make a big difference when it comes to the health and longevity of your vehicle. That’s why our team at Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC is dedicated to providing top-quality car care. Learn about common reasons your vehicle might have trouble starting, with support from our expert team.

There is an Issue with the Battery

One of the most common reasons your vehicle may have difficulty starting is the battery. If the battery has gone bad, or if the alternator is struggling to charge the battery while you drive, you may not have enough power to start the vehicle. A ticking sound when turning your vehicle over typically indicates an issue with the battery.

Your Starter Motor Needs to Be Replaced

In order for your car to start, the battery needs to send power to the starter motor. If the battery is sending power, but the vehicle still isn’t turning over, that likely means your motor has gone bad. If your vehicle has power to the accessories, but still isn’t starting, it means your battery is working, and the starter is the likely culprit. A vehicle with a bad starter will need to be towed to our service station.

Your Spark Plugs Need to Be Replaced

For an internal combustion engine vehicle to run, you need combustion, which comes from the spark plugs. If your spark plugs are old, misaligned, or defective, they can seriously impact the safety and drivability of your vehicle, including its ability to start. When the engine makes a clicking sound, but just can’t start, the spark plugs may be why.

At Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC, we believe the Chevy financing process should be easy and accessible for everyone. That’s why we provide a range of financing tools and resources, and why we’re walking you through every stage of the vehicle financing process. Here’s everything you need to know about pre-approval.

What is Pre-Approval?

When you get pre-approved for financing, this means a lender has given a conditional loan approval with an estimation of the amount you can borrow and your interest rate. This process is beneficial for numerous reasons and shows dealerships that you are serious about buying a vehicle.

Benefits of Getting Pre-Approved

Pre-approval has numerous advantages, starting with your finances. When you have a rough idea of how much you’ll be able to spend, you’ll be able to better budget for your next vehicle. This way, you won’t have to worry about falling in love with a car that is beyond your means. In addition, pre-approval will save you time at the dealership, streamlining the financing process.

Factors That Influence Pre-Approval

Your credit score is one of the most important factors to consider during the vehicle pre-approval process. It tells the lender how reliable you are to lend money to, which is why drivers who have higher credit scores have access to more favorable terms. You want to check your credit score at the start of the vehicle financing process, so you know what options you have.

Lenders will also look at your employment information, income, outstanding debt, and tax documents. Make sure you have all of your documentation ready before getting pre-approved.

By caring for critical Chevy parts in your car, you’ll be able to keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and reliable on every ride, and Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC is here to help. We provide expert service and car care that will protect your vehicle on the open road, and we’re sharing top tips for increasing the lifespan of your engine.

Consider Your Driving Behaviors

Repetitive and extreme driving habits can begin to wear down on your engine over time, so it’s always a good idea to consider your driving patterns and behaviors. If possible, try to reduce the amount in which your vehicle is idling, and avoid both sudden acceleration and sudden braking, all three of which can put excess stress on the engine and lead to premature wear.

Reduce Excess Weight

If you have cargo in your vehicle that you don’t need to be carrying around, consider leaving it at home. When the vehicle is heavier, the engine must work harder to run. By reducing the weight in the car, you reduce the pressure on your engine and keep it in good shape for a long time to come.

Schedule Service

There’s no better way to protect and maintain the engine in your Chevy vehicle than with regular service and repairs at Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC. Schedule oil changes, battery tests, belt and hose inspections, and fluid fill-ups, to ensure maximum engine protection and efficiency.
