Steps for using your Flexloan.

Using a Flexloan to finance your next new or used vehicle is simple and straightforward. Start by tapping or clicking Add a Vehicle from <your dashboard> and you’ll be guided through the process. Our Member Success Agents are here to support you along the way and will be verifying relevant docs and information throughout the process.

Step 1: Vehicle Details

Provide us with relevant details about the vehicle you’re interested in and the retailer (dealer) you’re working with. If you want to consider a different vehicle at a later stage—no problem! These can be changed with no penalty.

Step 2: Identity and Income Verification

Next, we’ll need to verify your identity and income. We partner with Plaid to use secure open banking standards to conduct these checks. You’ll also need to agree to a hard credit pull (though the check itself does not happen until you finalize your vehicle).

We’ll transmit funds to your dealer. In the meantime, you can make arrangements to pick up your new vehicle.

Step 3: Preliminary Statement

Your preliminary statement provides the financing amount, interest rate and term for the vehicle you’re looking to purchase. Review the statement to ensure all vehicle details are accurate.

Step 4: Finalize Your Flexloan

Review your Final Statement of Terms one last time, making any adjustments to your vehicle, down payment and/or trade-in details and provide proof of insurance. Then you’ll need to approve your final statement of terms and sign your promissory note, after which the hard pull will be completed.

Step 5: Fund Your Purchase

We’ll transmit funds to your dealer. In the meantime, you can make arrangements to pick up your new vehicle.

What happens next?

In short, sit back and relax. Our MSA team will. work with your dealership to secure mandatory vehicle documents, including the Title and Registration and the Bill of Sale. We will reach out if we need anything further from you.

FAQs

Will I need to make a down payment?

Using your Flexloan, you can finance a vehicle up to a loan-to-value rate of 110%. This is determined by dividing the total cost of your vehicle, including all taxes and fees, by its current V³ Valuation™. If the ratio surpasses 110%, a down payment will be required.

What are the vehicle eligibility requirements?

Your Flexloan can be used to finance vehicles that are 10 years old or newer (oldest model year eligible is the current year minus 8) and have fewer than 150,000 miles. Carputty has vehicle eligibility requirements to ensure that the vehicles being financed are in good condition, and have a certain level of value, as the vehicle's value serves as collateral for the loan.

What dealerships do you work with?

For new and used transactions, the purchase must be made from an authorized dealer. Any standard dealership is likely to be authorized. Private sales, brokers, auctions are not supported at this time. If you are uncertain if your dealer is authorized, please contact us at help@carputty.com or reach out via Chat.
