HAVE AN AUTO LOAN WITH A DIFFERENT LENDER?

Refinance your existing car loan with a Direct Federal auto loan and lower your monthly payments right away with our leading low interest rate. You can even refinance your car loan up to the full value of the car and get cash back to be used however you wish. If your original loan has a high interest rate, you could transform your car payments with Direct.


Example:


Car value: $16,700


Current Auto Loan from another lender: $10,000


You would pay off your current auto loan and receive $6,700 back in cash to spend however you wish. Click here to get started today. The application will take less than 10 minutes.

FAQ

WHAT IS CONSIDERED A "NEW AUTO" VERSUS A "USED AUTO"?

At Direct Federal, the most recent two model years are considered "new." Model years earlier than the most recent two are considered "used." We add a new model year each year on June 1st. 

2023-2024 | New 

2016-2022 | Used 


HOW MUCH CAN I BORROW?
You can borrow 120% of the value of your car (subject to our maximum auto loan limit of $100,000). This allows you to finance the entire purchase price plus the sales tax.

NADA Pricing Guide >

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO USE MY DIRECT FEDERAL AUTO LOAN?

You have 60 days. If, for whatever reason, you do not use the loan during that time period and need another one, simply call us at 781.455.6500.

WHAT HAPPENS IF INTEREST RATES CHANGE BETWEEN THE TIME I APPLY AND THE TIME I PURCHASE A VEHICLE?

If rates rise from the time you apply until the time you use your loan, you will get the lower rate that was in effect when you applied. If rates fall from the time you apply until the time you use your loan, you will get the lower rate in effect at the time of purchase.


WHAT IF I NEED MORE MONEY?

If you realize you need more money to finance your purchase once you start shopping for your car, simply call us at 781.455.6500. 


WHAT TYPES OF VEHICLES CAN I FINANCE?

You may finance automobiles, SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans for consumer use. You may not use your Direct Federal AutoCheck to finance boats, motorcycles, RVs or campers, or any vehicles for commercial use.


WHEN IS MY FIRST PAYMENT DUE?

Your first payment is due on the 30th of the month following the month you use your auto loan. For example, if you use your loan during September, your first payment will be due on October 30.
