Auto loan FAQs
Common questions about our vehicle loans.
How much can I borrow for an auto loan?
Loan amounts vary based on your credit, income, and the vehicle’s value. In many cases, you can finance up to 125% of the car’s value—including taxes, title, and fees.
Can I refinance my current auto loan with Palisades?
Yes! Refinancing with us could help lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, or shorten your loan term—potentially saving you money.
How long does it take to get approved?
Most auto loan applications are reviewed quickly, often within one business day. Our local team makes fast, personalized decisions so you can shop with confidence.
Can I get pre-approved for an auto loan?
Yes! Getting pre-approved is a great way to understand your budget before you shop. It gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and may strengthen your negotiating power at the dealership. Plus, it streamlines the buying process when you’re ready to make a purchase.
What documents do I need to apply for an auto loan?
Our team will walk you through the process and let you know exactly what’s needed, but in most cases, you’ll need:
- Proof of income (like recent pay stubs or tax returns)
- Proof of residence (such as a utility bill or lease agreement)
- Vehicle information (for purchases: dealer quote or bill of sale; for refinancing: current loan details)
