How to Finance a Used Car: The Facts

In most states, drivers don’t need full coverage insurance to drive off in their next vehicle. However, most finance lenders want to know that their investments are sound, which is why financial investors and banks require full coverage no matter if you purchase a new or used Mercedes-Benz vehicle.

When you get financing, you’ll learn about the term agreements that states how many years you’ll pay the lender before getting the vehicle’s title. So, if you apply for finance and get a loan with a term of 36 months, the lender holds the title as you pay off the loan during that period of time.
