Getting approved for an auto loan in New Jersey
New Jersey usury law caps the APR on most loans at 16%. Still, this doesn't mean you shouldn't shop for the best rates. Before you go car shopping, apply for preapproval with multiple lenders to see how much you qualify for and find the best terms.
Once you have a loan, you can shop for a vehicle knowing exactly what you can afford. And if your application isn't approved, your lender should provide you with reasons for the rejection.
