But you have to know how much you can afford.
[CASH REGISTER BELL]
To make the car-buying process better for you, get preapproved before you begin. What does that mean? You apply for a loan before you start shopping for a car.
[CHIMES]
And the lender tells you ahead of time how much you can borrow. Preapproval is based primarily on two things-- your credit history and how much debt you have compared to how much money you make. With preapproval, you know which cars you can afford before you buy. So you can stick to your budget. You'll already know what your payment will be, and you'll know ahead of time if you have any credit issues.
The salesperson might say that you could afford it, but with preapproval, you'll know for sure.
[DING]
When you get preapproved, you'll be in a stronger bargaining position because you'll be negotiating as if you were buying with cash.
(DESCRIPTION)
Smiley face.
(SPEECH)
That's good because you can concentrate on getting the right car at the right price.
[CAR HORN]
[WHOOSH]
Now that you know what you can spend, have fun car shopping.
