FAQs

How do car loans work?
Buying a car is exciting! It’s also a major expense, so you want to make sure you’re prepared and understand the process.
The short answer is that car loans allow you to borrow money from a lender to buy a car. Like other loans, you pay back the borrowed money over time, with interest. Because interest is an essential part of your costs, getting the lowest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on your loan will save you money over the life, or term, of your loan. Credit union car loans, like Mission Fed’s auto loans, often have lower interest rates.
Whether this is your first car or you’re looking to replace your current car with a new or used one, an auto loan allows you to put yourself behind the wheel with the financial flexibility that makes your car purchase affordable for your budget and lifestyle.
Mission Fed is here to help you through every step of the process. Our Auto Loan Guide will walk you through important items to consider to help you determine the best financing options for you.
