Before getting your new vehicle, you should know which financing type is best for you. Usually, people tend to go with the choice their families or friends recommend according to their experience, but let’s not forget that every individual has their own budget, lifestyle, and needs. So keep an open mind when looking for the best choice for you. 

Let’s get down to the pros and cons of buy here pay here financing and traditional Dealer financing and see which one’s for you.

The Basics of Buy Here Pay Here and Traditional Dealer Financing

When you’re looking for your dream car or truck, you may be flooded with options to get great financing to make the payment ride as smooth as possible. You should be able to buy a vehicle without breaking the bank. 

Here’s how it is:

Buy Here Pay Here Financing: This means getting approved by the company you’re purchasing your car from. It's an “in-house process” without getting a third party involved. It’s easier and perfect for people who are starting their credit history or need more flexibility to pay.

Traditional Dealer Financing: It means going to a bank, manufacturer, etc., to get a loan to pay for your vehicle. To be considered and approved for this type of financing, you should have a good credit history.

Pros and Cons of Traditional Dealer Financing

When looking for traditional dealer financing, you have to ensure you’ve already established a fantastic credit score. This can make the process a little bit tricky for first-time vehicle owners. Since you’re getting into a dealership with a big institution, your score should be flawless.

You have more options to choose from. You can go to a dealership, recure to a bank, or even the manufacturer. And depending on each one of them, you’ll be able to see more available rates or loan lengths based on what they can offer you after taking a look at your credit history.

Getting traditional dealer financing isn’t as flexible as going for the Buy Here Pay Here option since they tend to give higher interest rates for a long time, even if having long-term loans seems like a benefit at first sight. 

Still, this could be your choice if your goal is to keep creating credit history directly in your bank and if you get time to go through a lengthy process to see if you qualify for a loan. 

Pros and Cons of Buy Here Pay Here Financing

You don’t involve a third party, which gives you a chance to get a good financing deal firsthand with the company you’re planning on purchasing with. This also allows you to build a good credit history if you can’t get traditional financing or improve its quality.
