Tips for Financing Your Used RAM Truck

Getting a pre-owned RAM loan through Tom Tepe Autocenter is straightforward. We ensure it matches your budget by offering guidance on:


- Making a larger initial payment to lower future monthly dues.

- Checking your credit score to quickly identify favorable car loans.

- Considering trade-ins to cut down costs, making your purchase more affordable.


Save with a higher down payment

At Tom Tepe Autocenter, we advise paying 20% of your used RAM truck's price upfront. This reduces monthly payments and total interest on your pre-owned RAM loan. It also improves chances for loan approval and may lead to lower interest rates.


More down payment helps avoid negative equity, where you owe more than the truck's value. Larger down payments reduce long-term financing costs when buying a durable, reliable used RAM truck.


Check your credit score before applying

Check your credit score before trying to finance a used RAM truck. A higher score often means lower interest rates and better loan options. Your score is based on past loans, credit card use, and other debts.


A high score suggests you pay your debts on time. Use websites like AnnualCreditReport.com to check your score for free. This lets you correct any mistakes and understand your financial standing better.


Knowing your credit can open up favorable financing terms for a used car purchase.


Explore trade-in options for additional savings

At Tom Tepe Autocenter, we evaluate trade-ins to help you save on a used RAM truck. By trading in your current vehicle, you could reduce the total loan amount needed. This approach often leads to lower monthly payments for your next car.
