Jeep + Dodge Financing FAQs

Unless you recently hit the lottery or walked into a large sum of money, you probably won’t be buying a new Jeep or Dodge Ram 1500 in cash (though it would be amusing to walk into a dealership with a briefcase full of money, we’d probably question it and have to investigate). This makes financing an appealing, and usually the most economically reasonable, option. You find the right loan that meets your budget to get the Dodge Ram or Jeep you want and fits your financial planning.

So, let’s get down to some common financing FAQs and then some tidbits of wisdom we have when it comes to financing.

Is financing right for me?
You should speak with your financial advisors to determine if financing is the best solution for you. We work with people who have good credit or bad credit to get the car or truck they want for their home life, or the car or truck they need for work. Financing helps you pay a little bit over time to afford your new Dodge Ram or Jeep. Make sure that the monthly payments aren’t outside of your budget.

What do I need to get financing?
You just need the basics! Proof of ID, proof of income, proof of residence, you know, the simple stuff. From there, we run a quick, light credit check so we can create your financing plan.

Should I make a larger down payment?
That’s up to you! Financing simply means that you’ll be paying your loan off in installments. Having a larger down payment can mean that the payments are smaller month to month. It’s all a matter of your current financial situation.
