AUTO INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER EVERYTHING
There’s nothing worse than crashing a brand-new car. The last thing you want to worry about after an accident is your financial loss. That’s where Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) comes in. If your vehicle is deemed a total loss due to an accident or stolen, there can be a significant gap between what you owe on your loan and what your auto insurance will cover. GAP may reduce or even eliminate that shortfall in the event your vehicle is deemed a total loss.

THE TLC YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS TO GO THE EXTRA MILES
Mileage can add up quickly, but the repair costs don’t have to. EXCEL has partnered with CU Certified Automotive to provide extended warranties as a more affordable option than more costly dealership warranties.

- Plans for both new and used vehicles
Choose the plan that’s the right size for you:
- Powertrain covers 500+ parts and is designed to provide protection at a reasonable cost. Covers the engine, transmission, transfer case and drive axle.
- Standard covers 850+ parts including air conditioner, front suspension, steering, breaks, electrical and seals and gaskets.
- High-Tech covers 3,000+ parts including additional electrical, ABS brakes, cooling, fuel system, air conditioner, interior/exterior and seals and gaskets.
- Comprehensive covers 18,000+ parts and is “exclusionary” coverage – meaning it covers all breakdowns except what’s listed in the contract under the exclusions section
DEBT PROTECTION
A safety net for the unexpected.
While life is wonderful, it can get complicated when unexpected things happen. Protecting your loan balance or payments against death, disability or involuntary unemployment could help protect your finances.
Our Life Plus option adds protection for life events such as accidental dismemberment, terminal illness, hospitalization family medical leave and the loss of life of a non-protected dependent.
Purchasing protection is voluntary and won’t affect your loan approval.
Why Choose Excel FCU?
Auto loan borrowers often get confused when trying to determine the best auto loan lender. It is always important to get several quotes from potential lenders before signing a loan. Some borrowers assume dealerships are the best place to finance their car. However, dealerships tend to offer higher interest rates and worse loan terms since they know borrowers are eager to drive off the lot with their new purchase.
While there are many non-dealership lenders that offer auto loans, local credit unions are a particularly great choice for many people. Credit unions like Excel can offer premium loan terms for banking members. This means you should always talk to your bank or financial institution before financing a new car.
Excel Federal Credit Union is proud to offer competitive loan terms to our members. We make the financing process easy with simple online applications and convenient customer service assistance. Reach out today to learn how you can get the best possible car loan financing with Excel Federal Credit Union.
New Car Loans and Used Car Loans
Whether you’re looking for a brand new vehicle or a new-to-you car, Excel Federal Credit Union has competitive car loan rates you’ll love.
Loans Versus Leases
Some borrowers are confused about the difference between auto loans and auto leases. While both financing options allow you to drive a vehicle without paying the full amount upfront, there are some essential differences. Most notably, loans enable borrowers to finance their car purchases. When you take out an auto loan, you make regular payments on that loan, along with interest. At the end of the loan term, you will own your vehicle outright.
A lease, on the other hand, is a temporary arrangement. Leasing a car is similar to renting a home. Regular monthly payments allow you to temporarily drive your vehicle, but at the end of your lease, you must return the car to the dealership. Leases are often utilized by people who enjoy driving brand-new cars. With a lease, you can return your vehicle at the end of the period and lease a brand-new car. This allows some borrowers to drive a new vehicle year after year. The downside, of course, is that leases are temporary contracts and will never result in vehicle ownership outside of lease buyout loans.
What are common used car loan interest rates?
Interest rates are determined by many factors, including the loan length, total amount, down payment, and if it is a new or used car. One of the most significant factors is the borrower’s credit score. For borrowers with excellent credit scores, also known as superprime borrowers, the average interest rate is just under 3% for new cars and 4% for pre-owned vehicles. These average auto loan rates increase as credit scores lower. At the far end, deep subprime borrowers with low credit scores have auto loans with an average of just under 13% for new cars and 20.5% for used vehicles.
What happens if I pay an extra $100 a month on my car loan?
Making extra payments on top of your minimum monthly automatic payment is a great idea. Extra payment goes towards paying down your principal balance directly. This means you’ll be able to pay off your loan faster, improve your credit report, and pay less interest in the long run.
