Going shopping? Here is what you should do first.
1. Get Pre-Approved at Harvard FCU.
Getting pre-approved is easy using our simple online application. You don’t even need to know what type of car you’ll be buying. The application takes about 5 minutes and we’ll get back to you within 1 business day to let you know how much you are pre-approved to spend.
2. Choose Your Vehicle!
Before you step into your first dealership, thoroughly research the vehicles you’re interested in so you are familiar with options and prices. It’s also a good idea to brush up on your negotiating skills and educate yourself on the key “dos and don’ts” of buying a car.
3. Gather Your Documents.
- Purchase and Sales Agreement from the dealership
- Registration and Titling Form from the dealership
- Insurance binder listing Harvard FCU as the lienholder from your insurance company
Please note: For private party sales, required documentation may differ.
4. Close on Your Loan!
Your loan closing can be done online or in person with one of our representatives. We will reach out to you once your loan is ready to be finalized.
