The following information will be needed to finalize the purchase of your automobile:

Sellers Name – we will issue the check directly to the seller

Auto Details – year, make and model

VIN Number - this is the Vehicle Identification Number. The dealer will be able to provide this to you or you can locate it on the left side of dash where it meets the windshield.

Mileage - cannot exceed 150,000 miles

Evidence of Insurance - LFCU requires that all collateralized loans be covered by insurance. You must provide proof of this coverage to protect the vehicle in the case of loss.

The following information is required:

• Name of insured - this should match the name of the borrower(s) on the loan
• Policy Period - the time period the policy is in effect
• Policy Number
• Coverage - the credit union requires comprehensive and collision coverage with a maximum deductible of $1000
• Lien holder - Lebanon Federal Credit Union must be listed as the lien holder on the policy.  The lien holder address on the policy should be: PO Box 924428 Fort Worth Texas 76124
• Collateral Description - The insured collateral description must match the description of the collateral for the loan

When shopping for a vehicle, consider GAP coverage.  GAP or Guaranteed Asset Protection is a supplement to your primary auto insurance. If you are financing more than the value of the collateral or close to the value, then GAP coverage may be right for you. GAP coverage will cover the balance on your loan that remains after your insurance company pays their portion of the claim.

Insurance settlements do not always cover your loss. Unfortunately, many are unaware their primary auto insurance does not adequately protect their vehicle. Putting less than 20% down on a new vehicle purchase means you may be "upside down" on your loan-to-value ratio for the next two to three years. Even if you put money down on your vehicle, it can depreciate by thousands of dollars just by driving it off the lot. Your primary auto insurance covers your vehicle at its assessed value.

You could be responsible for paying the difference between your primary insurance settlement (vehicle’s actual cash value) and your loan balance if your vehicle is stolen, accidentally damaged beyond repair, or declared a total loss.

This could add up to thousands of dollars out of your pocket. You could end up paying on a vehicle you no longer drive, plus you still have to purchase a new vehicle.
