Energize Auto Loan Program

Energize Auto Loan Program

Drive the Car You Want for Lower Monthly Payments!

Make the lower monthly payments of a lease, without all the heavy restrictions and hidden costs of leasing. Sound impossible? It’s not. Community Resource FCU’s Energize Auto Loan Program offers just that!

Unlike leasing where the vehicle is titled in the name of the leasing company, with the Energize Auto Program the vehicle is titled in your name. This offers you greater flexibility both during the loan and at loan maturity.

Benefits include:

  • New and pre-owned vehicles up to five years old qualify
  • Flexible loan terms of up to 72 months
  • No down payment required
  • Annual mileage options of 7,500, 10,000, 12,000, 15,000 & 18,000 available
  • No security deposit or acquisition fees
  • No early payoff penalty

You Own The Vehicle

With Energize Auto the vehicle is titled in your name. This offers you greater flexibility both during the loan and at loan maturity.

No Down Payment Required

Most leases require a down payment, often referred to as a “Cap Cost Reduction” – our Energize Auto Program does not.

Lower Monthly Payments

Make lower monthly payments compared to conventional type auto loans.

You’re In Control

With Energize Auto, you can trade-in, pay-off, refinance, or sell the vehicle privately at any time.

Energize Auto Loan Program Offers Monthly Payments Up To 40% Lower Than Conventional Financing
