More from the Platinum VIP team
You can borrow against the value of a Honda Civic, Ford Focus, or another eligible vehicle! But keep in mind that your car’s make, model, and style will impact its overall value.
If a car suffers from extensive wear and tear or damage from a previous accident, a lender may use a vehicle inspection to investigate the interior or exterior condition of the car.
Things like a new spoiler or any updates to the car’s interior or exterior design may increase the value of the car, which is what lenders may also look for during a vehicle inspection.
Checking the odometer, a lender may use the vehicle inspection to see how many miles the car has gone through. Typically, the more miles that the vehicle has clocked in, the less value it has, which means less funding on the loan.
This is where your smartphone comes in! Many lenders now offer virtual vehicle inspections instead of physical ones. On top of providing your paperwork, all that’s required during your application are high-quality photos of the vehicle’s interior and exterior.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is typically located on the driver’s side door or the windshield. The photos don’t need to be fancy, just recent and clear!
A borrower’s vehicle title is used to secure the loan. Therefore, a vehicle is an integral part of the application process. Throughout the loan inquiry process, title lenders will usually determine if a person is a good candidate for a title loan based on past financial behavior, current assets (vehicle value), and their ability to pay back the loan. Establishing the value of your asset is required during the title loan inquiry process in order to determine what your potential loan amount will be. Additionally, your eligibility is based on the value of your vehicle. Therefore, a title lender will need to see your car to evaluate its value and determine its current condition. The overall condition of your car will affect its resale value, so a lender will need to see proof of your vehicle! That is why you can’t get a title loan without seeing the car.
