Which product: New vs. used
Our Car Loan can be used for either new or used vehicles that cost more than $20,000. However, if you are looking at purchasing a vehicle over 10 years old, or a vehicle that costs less than $20,000, you will be better off looking to apply for a Personal Loan.
Green Car Loan
Our Green Car Loan can be used to finance a car that is classified as a green car, as long as it is not over 7 years old and the loan is for a minimum amount of $20,000. Where the vehicle is over 7 years old or less than $20,000, you can apply for a Personal Loan.
