Frequently asked questions about used car loans

An unsecured used car loan gives you the freedom to finance a used vehicle without tying it to collateral. This means your car stays yours from day one—no strings attached. With funding as soon as today,Disclosure 3 and fewer requirements than a traditional used car loan, you can get on the road sooner. Plus, the funds are flexible, so you can cover related expenses like registration, insurance or even repairs with ease.

LightStream unsecured loans require good-to-excellent credit profiles.

Here are some characteristics we find people with good-to-excellent credit share:

  • Credit history: Several years of credit history (excellent credit profiles have 5 or more years) with a variety of account types, including major credit cards, installment loans, vehicle loans, and mortgage debt, if applicable.

  • Assets: The ability to save money, shown by retirement or investment accounts, as well as liquid assets such as checking and savings accounts.

  • Income vs debt: Stable income and assets with the ability to repay current debt obligations in addition to the new LightStream unsecured loan. (Excellent credit profiles typically include little, if any, credit card debt.)

  • Payment history: A good-to-excellent payment history with few or no late payments, and no other problems repaying debt.


Everyone’s credit profile is unique, and during our approval process, we look beyond your credit score and examine your entire credit profile.
Please note: A high FICO® score doesn’t guarantee approval.

Note for joint applicants: Each party on an application is reviewed equally since they share responsibility for this loan.

There is no penalty for partial or total early repayment of your loan. You can make extra payments any time by signing in to your account.

We don’t charge any fees for our used car loan. That means no application fee, no origination fee, and no pre-payment penalties. We’re all about making financing transparent and simple, so these common fees don’t apply. You’ll only be responsible for any interest on the loan, along with any standard taxes, title, and registration fees required by the dealership or your state.

When comparing offers, be sure to compare APRs, which reflect both your interest rate and any lender-imposed fees, to understand the true cost.
