How does financing work when ordering a car?

By Sophia Koch |

In direct lending, you get a loan directly from a bank, finance company, or credit union. You agree to pay, over a period of time, the amount financed, plus a finance charge. Once you enter into a contract with a dealership to buy a vehicle, you use the loan from the direct lender to pay for the vehicle.

What happens if car finance is not paid?

If you fail to clear your arrears within 14 days, the firm then has the option to terminate the agreement and not only demand you pay the full amount owing, but also that you return the car.
