5. How are auto finance decisions made?

Financial institutions typically take four major factors into account:

• Down payment
• Vehicle specifics (model, style, age, mileage, and cost)
• Application information such as income, time at current job, and time at residence
• Credit history

6. What does your credit score mean?

Credit scores are created by credit reporting agencies to help financial institutions predict risk. They are expressed as a score generally ranging from 350 – 850. In most cases, the higher your score, the greater chance you have of receiving a better financing offer.

• Timeliness of previous and current payments
• The length of your credit history

10. Can I qualify for financing if this is my first vehicle purchase?

Many Go Auto customers qualify for financing on their first vehicle purchase. If a normal credit determination cannot be made based on your current credit history, you may still qualify for other programs, like those for recent college graduates. Stipulations for college students vary by finance company. Check with a finance professional at any of our Go Auto dealerships for more information.

11. What finance rate can I get?

Your past credit history, the type of car you're buying, your down payment, and overall market conditions can all affect the finance rate for which you can qualify. We offer competitive rates from a variety of finance companies to fit nearly every budget and credit profile. You can learn more about your personal finance options at any Go Auto dealership.

12. What factors impact monthly payment?

Down payment, the amount financed, term (length of contract), and APR all affect the monthly payment.

13. How much should I budget for my car payment?

The rule of thumb from most financial institutions is to spend no more than 15% of your gross monthly income on your car payment. For example, if you make $2,000 a month you should spend no more than $300 on your car payment.

14. What documents should I bring?

All buyers should bring a valid government-issued drivers license, a current paystub, and a void cheque. Because different financing companies may require additional documentation, you may want to contact a Sales Consultant for a complete list of what you'll need to buy a car from Go Auto. If you also intend to sell a vehicle to Go Auto, please contact a Sales Consultant for a complete list of what you'll need.
