Fox has a program designed to help those with limited or less than perfect credit.
Auto buying tips from Mike • Know how much you want for a car payment. • Remove emotion: It’s just a vehicle. Extra gadgets in a vehicle are nice but are they necessary? • Focus on needs not wants: What is the primary function of the vehicle? • Do some research: Research both the vehicle and the dealer that has it. • Ask for the vehicle history: Ask for the Carfax and ask the dealer what they have all done to the vehicle to get it ready for sale. A reputable dealer will gladly share this information with you. • Listen to your instincts: Do not be afraid to walk away. • Double check the numbers. Make sure that the amount financed is the amount you agreed on. • Check with the credit union on vehicle and loan protections like warranty and GAP. Most of the time, they may be more affordable at Fox.
