Vehicle Loans

At BFCU, we offer our members competitive vehicle loan rates, with various terms to fit your budget.  Whether you are buying a new or used vehicle, we will make the process of purchasing your new car or motorcycle simple and efficient. 

BFCU offers Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) at a lower cost than most dealerships.  GAP protection will cover you in the event your vehicle is totaled and your primary insurance company settlement does not cover your outstanding loan balance.

What to Expect

Dealer Purchase

When purchasing a car from a dealership, you'll list BFCU as the lien holder on the purchase and sales agreement, Registration and Title Application (RTA). We will require a copy of the sales sticker when you purchase a new vehicle. 

Private Party Purchase

In cases of purchasing a vehicle from a private party, we will require a copy of the title (front and back), bill of sale, the Registration and the Title Application (RTA). BFCU should be listed as the lien holder.

Refinance

When refinancing your loan, we require a copy of your most recent loan statement, including the name of the financial institution, the payoff address, and the account number of your former loan. Additionally, please provide the 10-day loan pay-off amount, per diem (interest per day), and a copy of your car's registration. 

Lease Buyout

In the case of a lease buyout to finance the remainder of your car's purchase price with BFCU, we require a lease buyout letter from the leasing company. Please also provide an odometer disclosure statement and security deposition authorization (if applicable). 

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates may vary based on individual credit score. No pre-payment penalties.
Payment examples are approximate.  Annual percentage rate noted above reflects a discount of 0.50% because you have 1. A checking account with BFCU, 2. A Savings account with BFCU, 3. Direct Deposit from your employer to the BFCU checking or savings account, and 4. Automatic loan payments from the BFCU checking or savings account that the direct deposit is set up with.

Your ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will increase by 0.50% if you discontinue Direct Deposit to your BFCU savings or checking account. Any increase will take the form or more payments of the same amount. EXAMPLE: If your loan was $10,000 at 6% for 120 months and the rate increased to 6.50% after 3 years, you would have to make 4 additional payments.
