 Three Ways to Save Money When Buying a Car
Dee, a 66-year-old Pinnacle resident who has been a member for eight years, loves new cars but hates buying them. Recently he had what he called the best car-buying experience of his life. Maybe it's because he saved thousands of dollars and avoided hours of hassle. Want to feel the same way? Well, just follow Dee's road.
Save Money When You Buy
Dee hates the hassle of searching for and negotiating the price of a new car. He visited dealerships and found a Ford Focus SE within his price range. Then a coworker told him about Allegacy's Credit Union Auto Buying Service (CUABS®), which purchases over 150 cars per month and passes the discount on to members. First they searched extensively for the car he wanted. Then they negotiated free extras like heated leather seats and a hands-free car phone. Finally they negotiated the price. Dee saved $2,000 over his original price and got the extra features for free. The car buying service was completely free and – best of all – Dee received a .25% discount just for using CUABS!
Save Money On Your Loan
While CUABS was working on getting Dee more car for less, Allegacy was arranging the financing. Because Allegacy is a not-for-profit, they pass along the savings in the form of lower rates. Rates were recently reduced to as low as 3.50% APR*. Use CUABS for an additional .25% discount and new vehicle loan rates at Allegacy are now as low as 3.25% APR**. Dee says the car buying and car financing processes were seamlessly integrated. So he saved time while saving hundreds in interest charges.
Save Money On Insurance
Allegacy's newest benefit has some members saving hundreds of dollars a year on auto insurance by taking advantage of a new members-only service. Allegacy has partnered with Nationwide® to offer a special deal that could mean significant savings on insurance for your car, boat, RV, and motorcycle.
