If you’re considering MINI financing for your next purchase, a pre-approval is an important first step. By getting pre-approved, you can shop with extra confidence. We’re diving into all the details at Orlando MINI.
Do Your Research
Before getting pre-approved, it’s helpful to know what price range you’re looking for in your next vehicle. Shop our inventory online to see which cars include your must-haves and how much they cost. Of course, you may not be approved for those amounts, but it’s a great jumping off-point.
Check Your Credit
It’s also a good idea to check your credit before you apply. If your credit score is an issue, you could have trouble getting approved and you’ll likely get a high interest rate. Review your credit report to see if there are any discrepancies to clear up or anything else you can do to raise your score before applying.
Get a Trade-in Estimate
It can be much easier to secure an auto loan if you’re prepared to make a down payment of at least 20 percent. Many buyers may opt to trade in their existing vehicle which can contribute a significant chunk toward the down payment. We encourage you to get an estimate of your trade-in value so that you know exactly how much positive (or negative) equity you have.
Gather Your Documentation
You can quickly get pre-approved on our site by answering just a few quick questions. You’ll need to submit your social security number, housing info, employment info, and any co-applicant information. To officially get approved, you’ll need the following documentation:
- Driver’s license or government-issued ID
- Proof of income
- Proof of residence
- Proof of auto insurance
- Trade-in registration, title, and lien paperwork (if applicable)
