Payment Shaver - Drive More For Less
DFECU offers Payment Shaver, the auto loan that's structured like a lease, only better! It offers monthly payments up to 30% lower than a conventional loan. Here's why it's better than a lease:
- You're allowed up to 18,000 miles per model year (lower mileage options are also available)
- It can be written for almost any make or model of car or truck
- You can use it to pay for new autos or used autos up to five years old
- The vehicle is titled in your name
- No security deposit is required
- Typically no down payment is required
- You can terminate the loan without penalty simply by paying it off
The Payment Shaver loan is flexible right up to the end. There are four easy options:
- Sell the car, pay off the loan balance and if there's equity, keep it
- Trade the car in and pay off the loan balance
- Keep the car and refinance the amount owed; or
- Return the car and the balance will be paid off subject to charges for excess mileage, missing equipment and unrepaired damage covered by insurance
