Read on for our guide to financing in the Tampa area, and feel free to get in touch with us for all of your automotive needs.

When Do I Need Full Coverage?

Whether you buy a new or used car, you usually don’t need full coverage the minute that you drive off the lot. However, your financial investors or bank will likely require full coverage in time. That’s because full coverage will protect your investment over time, which is important for any car – new or used. Just how long do you need your coverage? When you apply for financing, you’ll agree to a loan term. This is the period in which the lender holds the vehicle’s title. Full coverage is needed for the duration of that term loan, whether it’s 24 or 36 months. 

How Many Years Can You Finance a Used Car?

Before we go into how many years can you finance a used car, let’s start at the beginning. When you find your used car, you’ll need to bring the following to the finance team to start the process:

  • Valid Driver’s License
  • Valid Car Insurance Card
  • Any supporting financial documentation (i.e. last two pay stubs)
  • Any existing vehicle documentation for your trade-in vehicle (if applicable)

Then, your financial team member will go through the terms that the lender has agreed. This will vary, depending on both the preferences of the lender and your individual financial profile. Everything from credit score to down payment can affect the length of your finance period, so there’s no clear cut answer to how many years can you finance a used car. However, we welcome you to visit our finance department to find out the answer for you.
