💡 Why Go with Financing?
Financing your next vehicle offers freedom and flexibility—whether you’re replacing a car that’s seen better days or upgrading to something more reliable. Here’s why more drivers are choosing to finance their purchases:
- Financing allows you to purchase the right car even if you haven’t saved up the full cost.
- Budget-friendly payments spread across the loan term make your purchase easier to manage without financial strain.
- Every on-time payment strengthens your credit history.
- You don’t need to drain your emergency fund or investment accounts to drive away in a new car.
- Financing means you won’t have to wait years to save up—you can secure your car now and pay over time.
- Wells Fargo works with dealerships across the country, making their financing options accessible during your vehicle purchase process.
🧾 Get Ready Before You Visit the Dealership
Since you’ll typically apply for financing through a dealership that partners with Wells Fargo, a little prep work can make the process smoother and faster:
- Understanding your credit can help you gauge what types of terms you might qualify for.
- Factor in not just monthly payments but also insurance, fuel, and maintenance.
- The more you put down upfront, the lower your monthly cost.
- Expect to bring proof of income, your driver’s license, your Social Security number, and proof of residence.
- Look into typical APRs for your credit range. This gives you context for evaluating the dealer’s financing options.
- The dealership will likely offer you several financing options from multiple lenders—Wells Fargo being one of them.
