A few tips for veterans buying a car

VA automobile allowance. If you have certain service-connected disabilities, the VA may help pay for a vehicle or for adaptive equipment like hand controls. Check your eligibility on VA.gov before you shop.
Trading in? Bring your current car. We'll make you an offer, and if you still owe on it, we call your lender for the payoff.
Rebuilding credit after a deployment or a move? That's common, and lenders work with it. Steady income and a down payment help most.
