How can being preapproved help me when I’m vehicle shopping?
Being preapproved helps you focus on negotiating the best price, knowing that you won’t be surprised when you close the deal. Plus, dealers tend to take people more seriously when they come in with preapproved financing because it means you’re ready to do business and not just window shopping.
