VW financing expert serving a couple

It's not uncommon to dread the Volkswagen financing process. It can seem overwhelming if it’s something you’re unfamiliar with. Strong Volkswagen is answering our frequently asked questions to help you shop with confidence.

Do I Need to Get Pre-Approved?

Pre-approval is not a requirement for an auto loan. However, it can make the buying process easier and certainly helps you save time. You can quickly get approved on our website, which can also provide an estimate of your rates and terms.

What Credit Score Do I Need?

There isn’t a specific credit score requirement for an auto loan. Generally, lenders look for buyers with a score of at least 660. However, we work with buyers with bad credit or even no credit.

What Documents Do I Need?

When you apply for financing, we’ll ask questions about your income and housing info. You’ll need to be able to verify this information with proof. You also need to show proof of your own identity and proof of auto insurance.

Is it Better to Get a Loan on My Own?

Some buyers prefer to work with their own lending institution, which is absolutely fine. However, we have a huge circle of lenders, both locally and nationally. We can help you get more offers, often resulting in more competitive rates.

Is it Better to Lease a Car?

Leasing is generally more affordable than financing. You can lease a car with lower monthly payments, although you don’t build up equity like you do with buying. You’ll also need to consider the mileage restrictions that come with a lease.
