After you decided to finance your new car/used car, you can borrow money from the dealership, bank or credit union. You can also go online to check interest rates from independent lenders.
It's a smart move to arrange financing before you go to the dealership. This helps in several ways:
You are sure to get a competitive interest rate on the length of the loan you desire.
You analyze your financial situation in a relaxed setting, rather than squinting at fine print in the dealership sales office. Prearranged financing removes one more variable from the buying process and allows you to concentrate on negotiating the purchase price of the car only.
If you are unsure of your credit worthiness, you should do all you can to repair your record before going to a dealership. Read Making the Best of Blemished Credit for information on how to do this. getting

With your financing in
place, you're now in a position of power when you are buying a car. When
dealership financing is offered, you can take it or leave it. If the interest
rate is lower (dealers can offer very low interest rates), you can take it. If
not, you can leave it. But remember, if suspiciously low financing is offered,
make sure the term, the length of the loan, is the same. When in doubt, do the
math.
