Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens When You Apply for Financing at European Motorcars?
To begin the financing process, you’ll need to fill out a credit application—either online or in person at our dealership. The application will ask for basic information such as your name, Social Security number, address history, employment details, income sources, and more. Once submitted, we review your credit report and send your application to our network of lenders to find the best possible financing solution.
Lenders use credit scoring systems that consider your credit history, income, employment, and down payment to determine eligibility and the interest rate (APR) they can offer. Their decisions are based on your application, credit score, and the terms of the vehicle purchase.
What Factors Influence My APR?
Several factors impact your Annual Percentage Rate, including:
- Your credit history
- Current market rates
- Lender competition
- Special manufacturer offers
- Loan term and down payment
Can I Use a Co-Signer?
Yes. If your credit history needs support, a co-signer can strengthen your application. A co-signer shares equal responsibility for the loan and its payment history will appear on their credit report as well.
Do I Need a Down Payment?
A down payment may not always be required if you have strong credit. However, if you’ve had credit challenges in the past, you may need to provide a down payment to secure loan approval.
What If I Have Low or No Credit?
We work with a wide range of lenders and understand that not everyone has perfect credit. Whether you have low credit or no credit history at all, we can help find financing options that work for your situation.
How Soon Can I Get My Vehicle?
Most financing applications are approved instantly or within 24 hours. Be ready to provide documents like proof of income, insurance, or ID. In many cases, our customers drive home the same day they apply.
Is My Information Secure?
Absolutely. Your information is protected under our dealership’s privacy policy. You can view our full privacy policy on our website or request a copy at our dealership.
Will Applying with Multiple Lenders Hurt My Credit Score?
No. Credit bureaus treat multiple inquiries for the same type of loan—like an auto loan—within a 14-day window as a single inquiry. This allows you to shop around without negatively impacting your score.
After Completing a Vehicle Purchase
If you financed your vehicle, your lender (bank, credit union, or finance company) holds a lien on the title until the loan is paid off. Make your payments on time to avoid late fees, credit damage, and potential repossession.
Your Rights Under Federal Law

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)
You are protected from credit discrimination based on gender, race, religion, national origin, marital status, age, or if you receive public assistance.
