How Many Years Can You Finance a Used Car? 

The simple answer to “do you need full coverage on a used financed car?” is that, in most states, you aren’t required to drive your car off the lot with full coverage. However, lenders in the Freehold area will want to make sure that their investment in your vehicle is sound. When you get financing, most investors or banks will require full coverage whether your car is used or new. 

Thankfully, it’s easy to learn the answer to,”how many years can you finance a used car?.” Any time you finance a vehicle, term agreements in your contract spell out how many years you’ll pay your lender until you can receive your title. 

For example, if you apply for financing and obtain a loan for the used vehicle that has a term of 36 months, then your lender will hold your vehicle’s title until that time passes. Your used car will only need full coverage for as long as the term of the loan, so, for the example above, your used car would need full coverage insurance for 36 months.

How to Finance a Used Car 

Learning how to finance a used car is also fairly straightforward. Once you find the right used car for your drives around Red Bank, you’ll just need to give some information to our finance team. Then, they’ll contact lenders on your behalf. The information they’ll need will be: 

• Valid Driver’s License
• Valid Car Insurance Card
• Any supporting financial documentation (i.e. last two pay stubs)
• Any existing vehicle documentation for your current vehicle (if applicable)

Once they find you a lender, one of our finance team members will explain the terms the lender will offer you in order to finance your used car. Certain factors will determine the answer to “how many years can you finance a used car?” These include: 

• Your credit score
• And how much you can put as a down payment
