PFFCU vs. Dealer FinancingApply Now View Rates

Take the Dealer Rebate and Finance with PFFCU
Many dealers offer a choice between a reduced interest rate auto loan or a cash back rebate on the price of the vehicle. But, they don’t tell you that the reduced interest rate is not available to everyone, is often only available for short-term loans resulting in a high monthly payment, that not all vehicle makes and models qualify for the reduced rate, and that a large down payment is required.

We've Done the Math.
See how your PFFCU AutoDraft, combined with the dealer rebate saves you money.

If you're considering a new car purchase, beware of a common sales strategy some dealers use. They immediately offer you financing at a very low rate to make you think you are getting a good deal. To compensate for the low financing, the dealer may not give you the lowest sales price for the car. PFFCU offers you a better car buying plan that can save you thousands of dollars. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Get a PFFCU AutoDraft
Contact PFFCU to get your AutoDraft* before you go to the dealer. An AutoDraft is an auto loan you receive in the form of a check to buy a car up to your approved loan amount. Use your AutoDraft just as you would a personal check to purchase your car. With an AutoDraft, there are no hidden fees, so you know exactly what your loan costs. When you finance with PFFCU, you'll get exceptional service, a low rate, a 10-minute application process, and a loan decision within one hour.*

2. Know the invoice price before visiting the dealer.
Find out the vehicle's invoice price with our free Auto Pricing Service. Take this information with you to the dealership. Let the dealer know you are aware of the vehicle's invoice price and that you already have financing in hand.

3. Negotiate the best price for the vehicle.
With a PFFCU AutoDraft, there is no need to discuss financing through the dealership. Your AutoDraft gives you the bargaining advantages of a cash buyer, so you can keep the conversation on the true invoice price and negotiate the best deal.

*A PFFCU AutoDraft may be used for the purchase of automobiles or trucks only. Members who desire to purchase a motorcycle should apply for a PFFCU Signature Loan. A PFFCU AutoDraft may not be used for sales between private parties, may not be used as a down payment on the purchase of a vehicle, and may not be used to purchase reconditioned or salvaged vehicles. See your AutoDraft for all terms and conditions. One hour loan decisions are contingent upon receipt of all required application information.
