Buying used car with car loan. What do I need to know?
I'm a first time car buyer (22 soon 23 y.o) and a friend has a 2020 land rover that has very low miles and I've been testing it for a month, I like it and it's awesome for winter.
My friend currently has a 14.9% APR on it and I think owes 29k or so on it.
I want to talk to her and see if she sells it to me for 25k because she wants to sell it and because it's not even in the 50k miles range, it's like 42k or so.
Anyways, with that context on why I want to buy it, what should I know for a loan?
I'll check with either DCU or my local credit union.
I don't know much about car buying but I'm aiming at any rate under 7% cause I'm going for maybe 5-7k downpayment.
Stuff I'd like to know are things like GAP, should I get it? What else? Cause it's not through a dealer so they ain't selling me any add-ons.
My score is currently 692 but I do have recent inquiries. From maybe 3 months old or so.
3 years with credit and 100% on time payments. Income of around 45k
Thanks for the info!
