Buying a Car - Hero

Buy a Vehicle

Find a vehicle that fits your lifestyle—and your budget.

Start shopping

Shopping for a vehicle shouldn't be stressful

At VSECU, we simplify auto shopping by offering financing at a branch, online, or through our Dealer Direct program. With Dealer Direct, we work with participating auto dealers, so they can take your loan application on the lot and determine if you qualify for a loan from VSECU.

Get started in four easy steps

  • Number 1

    Find the right car or truck

    Get pre-approved so you know how much car you can afford, and use our Find Cars tool to determine the value of your existing vehicle.

  • Number 2

    Gather information

    Use the Find Cars tool, to shop online and find suggested retail prices for new and used autos offered by partners in our Dealer Direct program.

  • Number 3

    Visit the dealer

    Once you’ve found the car you want to buy, visit a participating Vermont and New Hampshire dealership for a test drive.

  • Number 4

    Finance with VSECU

    When you show up for the test drive, just let them know you want to finance with VSECU.

Find your next vehicle

This tool is your one-stop shop for finding a car through our Dealer Direct program. Simply fill in the details about your dream car to begin your search. If you shop with one of our participating auto dealers, they can take your loan application and determine if you qualify for a loan from VSECU.
