Apply for Financing Today
One of the first steps of shopping for a Chevrolet vehicle is to apply for an auto loan, so you can pre-qualify for auto financing. This allows you to see what interest rate and loan terms you're eligible for when you receive Chevrolet financing. By knowing your interest rate and loan size in advance, you can use our monthly payment calculator to determine which models in our inventory of new and used Chevrolet models in Roseville best reflect the needs of your budget. Once you've filled out an auto finance application, make the trip to Roseville to take the next steps with our finance team.
Chevrolet Financing Considerations
As you complete our auto finance application to pre-qualify for auto financing, there are a few considerations to make:
- Loan Term: When you apply for an auto loan, you'll need to decide whether you prefer a shorter or longer loan term. Bear in mind that shorter loan terms come with larger monthly payments and less overall interest, while longer loan terms come with smaller monthly payments, but more interest charged over the lifetime of the loan.
- Down Payment: This is the amount of money you're willing to pay upfront towards the value of your next vehicle. The greater the amount, the smaller your monthly payment will be. Larger down payments often put you in a position to leverage for a better interest rate as well.
- Trade-in Value: Most of our St. Paul customers raise their down payment by putting the value of their old vehicle towards their next one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I apply for auto financing before shopping?
Applying for an auto loan allows you to pre-qualify and discover what interest rates and loan terms you qualify for. Knowing your interest rate and loan size in advance lets you use our online payment calculator to accurately plan your budget for a new or used Chevrolet.
Should I choose a shorter or longer car loan term?
It depends on your personal financial goals. Shorter loan terms feature higher monthly payments but accumulate less overall interest over time. Longer loan terms lower your monthly payments, but you will pay more interest over the lifetime of the loan.
How does a down payment or trade-in value impact my auto loan?
Both upfront down payments and trading in an older vehicle reduce your total loan size, resulting in a smaller monthly payment. Providing a larger down payment can also put you in a position to secure a more competitive interest rate.
