Q: What credit score is required to qualify for financing?

Q: Can I finance a used Kia vehicle?

A: Yes! We offer financing options for both new and pre-owned Kia vehicles. Whether you're looking to finance a certified pre-owned model or any used vehicle in our inventory, we can help find the right solution.

Q: Should I buy or lease a Kia?

A: The choice between buying and leasing depends on your preferences and driving habits. Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments and the option to drive a new car every few years, while buying allows you to build equity in your vehicle. Our finance experts can help you determine which option best fits your needs.

Q: Can I get pre-approved for financing before visiting the dealership?

A: Yes, you can get pre-approved by filling out our online finance application. This process helps you understand your budget before visiting our dealership and speeds up the buying process.

Q: Do you accept trade-ins?

A: Absolutely! You can use your current vehicle as a trade-in to lower the cost of your new or pre-owned Kia. Our team offers competitive trade-in valuations and makes the process easy.

Q: What is the difference between APR and interest rate?

A: APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes both the interest rate and any additional fees related to the loan, giving you a clearer picture of the total cost of borrowing. The interest rate, on the other hand, refers only to the cost of borrowing the principal amount.

Q: Can I finance a vehicle with no credit history?

A: Yes, we work with first-time buyers and those without a credit history. Our team can help you explore options to finance your vehicle, even if you're building your credit for the first time.

Q: How does a co-signer help with financing?

A: A co-signer with a strong credit history can improve your chances of securing financing and may help you qualify for better interest rates. However, they share responsibility for the loan if payments are missed.
