What Pre-Approval Actually Means
A pre-approval is a conditional green light from a lender that shows how much you can borrow and what your repayments might look like. It’s not a final approval, but it’s close. You’ll know your budget, interest rate range and loan type upfront.
Why It Matters
Pre-approval gives you real buying power. You can negotiate harder, shop with confidence and act fast if the right car comes up. You’ll also avoid disappointment if a dealer sells to someone with ready finance while your application is still pending.
It also gives you time to compare rates properly instead of feeling rushed to accept whatever the dealership offers.
Common Myths About Pre-Approvals
