Finance Question

Good evenin everyone. Had a quick question regarding my vehicle financing method. I will be putting 20-25k cash down. For the remainder amount I got pre approved for the rest with a credit union at a good rate. All I received was a letter stating the approval and the sum.

When I go to pick up the vehicle do I go in there with the cash and just that pre approval letter? or is there some step I am missing here? The loan officer stated I just take the note along with me and I should be good to go? Have never done the pre approval process with a credit union so somewhat new at it.

what you should do is get 2 checks from the bank. 1 for the financed amount, and 1 for the cash in the form of a cashiers check. don't think you want to go strolling in to the dealership with 25k on your person. take those 2 checks to the dealership and they give you a Raptor. it's a sweet deal :)

Like Bird said. I had a check for the down, my trade and a letter with a number to call for the dealer to hammer the loan. The dealer looked at the letter and the low interest amt. and said he would match it so I went with them.

When ever you use more than 10k cash they must involve the government in the transaction. They need to know that the money isnt coming from drugs... Since mostly people involved with drugs use all cash... I try to do it all the time just to make more work for them all...

There are some great threads here about pricing, but I haven't seen any yet on what offer people are getting for financing (assuming some of you need it like me :) )

Is Ford offering any of the financing deals they do on the other F150's?

No financing deals on SVT vehicles that I know of. Your best rate will likely be with a bank or credit union pending your credit score. Good deals for our Service members as well.
