There are three different types of financing. Customer pre-approved loans, Dealer acquired financing with lenders, and In house financing.

Customer Pre-approved loans:This type of loan is generally for something who has decent credit. The customer goes and finds their own loan at a credit union, finance company, bank, etc. They get pre-approved for a certain amount of money, and shop around at dealerships. When they find a car they want to purchase, they have the dealer contact the lender. The dealer sends the title to the lender, and they become the lien holder on the vehicle. The dealer gets a check paid in full from the lender, and the buyer makes payments to the lender. If your customers asks where they can get pre-approved for a loan, you can direct them to Capital One Auto Finance. They'll set your customer up with a loan so you won't lose the deal. I send a lot of customers there.

The lender makes the money on the used car financing not the dealer. The lender takes care of repossessing the car if the customer doesn't make their payments. People with bad credit can't get these types of loans. Keep in mind that if your a dealer buying a repo car at an auction, the auction will give you a check along with the title to pay the penalty fees from the repo. You have within sixty days to pay the penalty fees. When you pay the fees at the DMV, your also going to have to pay a $15 repo fee, and a $15 transfer fee. The title will then be transferred into your dealership name.

Dealer acquired financing with lenders: The dealer acquires the financing themselves for the customer with an outside lender. The customer fills out a credit application and the dealer sends it out to an outside lender. The outside lender replies back, and lets the dealer know if the customer qualifies, and what type of rate they can get. Then the dealer sends the title off to the lender, and they hold the title until they get paid in full from the customer. The customer drives off in the car, and the dealer gets paid in full from the lender.

The dealer receives a small commission but doesn't make any money on the used car financing. Lenders will only finance cars with clean titles, and low mileage limiting the cars you can finance.

Your going to have to get the necessary forms, financing software, and a special printer for in house, and dealer acquired financing. The software will make it easy to fill out the finance forms, and a dot matrix printer will print everything out for you on the sales contract.

If your shopping for a car, and are wondering if you qualify for financing Capital One Auto Finance is a reputable finance company to work with.

In house financing:In this scenario the dealer is the lender. The dealer makes the money in the financing. The dealer decides who gets approved, and who doesn't, the interest rate, and the terms.

The dealer is responsible for repossessing the vehicle. Most people who get in house financing generally have bad credit.

If your willing to do in house financing you can make much greater profits off your cars as opposed to selling them cash. The negative is worrying, and hunting people down who don't pay. Some dealers repossess the vehicles themselves by making an extra set of keys. They do it late at night when their customer is sleeping. The customer will come out,and think the car is stolen. When they call the police to report a stolen car, the police will ask them first if they owe money on the vehicle. When your customer finds out you repossessed the car, they'll have to pay the Repo fee as well as what's owed on the vehicle. Most customers want to get their cars back. They've invested money into them by making mechanical repairs, or adding after-market parts. Whether a dealer or a repossessing company does the repo, they have to tell the consumer exactly how much they have to pay and what else they have to do. A customer in California has fifteen days to pay off the car and get their car back. Repo fees are expensive if you higher someone to do it.

Lots of Hispanic dealers I know who have dealerships in low income communities do a lot of in house financing. Some of them will finance anyone, and not even check their credit. There selling cars to illegal aliens without drivers licenses. They also get away with taking advantage of them since they're are not from America, and not familiar with the legal system. If an illegal alien gets pulled over in California without a drivers license they lose the car. Since the dealer is the lien holder on the vehicle, and not the customer, they can get a vehicle out of impound for a customer who is an illegal alien. The customer gives the dealer the money to get the car out. Illegal aliens will buy inexpensive cars cash because they know they'll lose them if they get pulled over.
