Why Get Pre-Approved for Financing?

One of the first steps of shopping for a Toyota vehicle is to apply for an auto loan, so you can pre-qualify for auto financing. This allows you to see what interest rate and loan terms you’re eligible for when you receive Toyota financing. By knowing your interest rate and loan size in advance, you can use our monthly payment calculator to determine which models in our inventory of new and used Toyota models in Chicago best reflect the needs of your budget. Once you’ve filled out an auto finance application, make the trip to Chicago to take the next steps with our financiers.

Toyota Financing Considerations

As you complete our auto finance application to pre-qualify for auto financing, there are a few considerations to make:

• Loan Term: When you apply for an auto loan, you’ll need to decide whether you prefer a shorter or longer loan term. Bear in mind that shorter loan terms come with larger monthly payments and less overall interest, while longer loan terms come with smaller monthly payments, but more interest charged over the lifetime of the loan.

• Down Payment: This is the amount of money you’re willing to pay upfront towards the value of your next vehicle. The greater the amount, the smaller your monthly payment will be. Larger down payments often put you in a position to leverage for a better interest rate as well.

• Trade-in Value: Most of our Lincoln Park customers raise their down payment by putting the value of their old vehicle towards their next one.
