Create a payment that works for you

Buying a new car can be stressful on both you and your bank account. With a First Time Auto Loan from LSCU, you can get competitive rates and flexible terms to find a payment that works for your budget. Keep more money in your account for more smiles per gallon.

Good payment history bonus

Reduce your rate with good financial habits

First-time car buyers don't always have the best (or any) credit, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get a good rate. After 12 months of on-time payments, you may be eligible for a better rate, so you can save more over the life of your loan. You deserve to get rewarded for good behavior!

I was excited to buy my first car. I was 20 and had been at my same job for almost two years but didn’t have a good credit score because of limited credit. I had a co-signer but that didn’t help me get a good interest rate at most places. My credit union told me about the First Time Auto Buyer program. They approved my loan and will evaluate my rate after one year.
