Financing a Used Car: The Facts

In a majority of states, full coverage is not necessary. This is true whether you have decided to purchase a new car or a pre-owned vehicle. However, finance lenders want to make sure they are making a good investment, so they will require you to have full coverage, even if it is a used car.

For those who decide to finance, there are term agreements that let you know how long you will have to pay the lender before you can take possession of the car’s title. For example, your loan has a term of 36 months, the lender keeps the vehicle’s title for those 36 months.

In most cases, full coverage insurance is contingent on the full term of the finance period. If we are using the same terms as the example previously discussed, the vehicle would need to be fully covered for those 36 months.
