  • Walk you through the pros and cons of buying versus leasing, including a lease-to-buy option
  • Appraise your current vehicle
  • Handle the financing paperwork through delivery

To get pre-approved for an Educators auto loan, you’ll need to be an Educators member (or join when you apply) and provide information about your income and employment. Rates are based on term, credit score, and credit tier, and the lowest rates are available with a credit score of 670 or above.

Yes. You can apply for auto loan pre-approval online or apply by video with Educators Connect Cam™. Getting pre-approved before you visit a dealership helps you shop with a clear budget.

Trading in your car is faster and simpler, since the dealership handles the paperwork and applies the value toward your next car. Selling privately often gets you more money but takes more time and effort.
