Frequently Asked Questions - CarVision
What lenders do you work with?
Absolutely! We have relationships with many of the nation's largest auto lenders, including Bank of America, Capital One, Ally, Chase, and Wells Fargo. Having so many options means we have the ability to get you the best rate available.
Can I get approved with bad credit or no credit?
Yes — CarVision specializes in helping buyers with all types of credit situations including bad credit, no credit, first-time buyers, and recent bankruptcies. Our finance team works with multiple lenders including subprime specialists to find the best approval and terms available for your situation. We believe everyone deserves a reliable vehicle.
Can I get pre-approved before visiting the dealership?
Yes. You can apply for financing online at carvision.com/finance from the comfort of your home. The process takes about 60 seconds and there is no obligation. Knowing your budget before you visit makes the buying experience faster and easier.
How much of a down payment do I need?
Down payment requirements vary depending on the vehicle price, your credit profile, and the lender. In many cases our finance team can structure deals with little to no money down. Apply online or speak with our finance team and we will walk you through the options available for your specific situation.
What credit score do I need to finance a car at CarVision?
There is no minimum credit score requirement at CarVision. We work with buyers across the full credit spectrum — from excellent credit to challenged credit. Our network of lenders allows us to find financing solutions for most credit situations. The best way to find out is to apply — it only takes 60 seconds and does not affect your credit score.
Do you provide a Carfax report?
Yes. We post a Carfax Vehicle History Report on every online vehicle listing and provide a copy to every customer who purchases a vehicle.
Are your vehicles inspected before sale?
Yes. Every vehicle in CarVision's inventory goes through a thorough inspection by our certified technicians before it is offered for sale. We check the engine, transmission, brakes, tires, electrical systems, and more to ensure each vehicle meets our quality standards. You can also request to see the inspection report for any vehicle.
Do your vehicles come with a warranty?
Yes. Many vehicles in our inventory come with remaining factory warranty coverage, and the specific details are listed on each vehicle's page and Carfax report. Additionally, CarVision stands behind every vehicle we sell — we offer a 30-day powertrain warranty on our inventory because we believe in the quality of the cars we put on our lot. Our team can walk you through exactly what coverage applies to any vehicle you are interested in. Extended warranty options may also be available at time of purchase.
What do I need to test drive a vehicle?
You must be over 21 and have a valid US driver's license to test drive one of our vehicles.
Do I need an appointment to visit CarVision?
No appointment is necessary — walk-ins are always welcome at both our Trooper PA and Maple Shade NJ locations. However, if you would like to ensure a specific vehicle is available and ready for a test drive when you arrive, calling ahead is recommended. You can also browse our full inventory online at carvision.com before your visit.
How long does the car buying process take at CarVision?
We respect your time and have invested in technology to streamline the paperwork required at the point of sale. The total time depends largely on your financing situation — buyers who get pre-approved online before visiting the dealership have a significant advantage and can move through the process much faster. For some buyers, obtaining insurance at the time of purchase can also add some time to the visit. Additionally, the approval process timeline varies depending on your credit profile and lender. Our goal is to make your time at the dealership as short as possible so you can get behind the wheel and enjoy your new vehicle. That said, most CarVision purchases can be completed within 2 to 3 hours from test drive to driving home, and pre-approving online at carvision.com/finance is the single best step you can take to shorten that time before you arrive.
Do you accept trade-ins?
Yes! We are happy to accept your trade-in towards the purchase of any vehicle in our inventory.
Can I sell my car to CarVision without buying another vehicle?
Yes. You can sell your vehicle directly to CarVision even if you are not purchasing from us. We provide a fair market value offer based on your vehicle's condition, mileage, and features. If you accept our offer we can often pay you the same day. You can also get a KBB Instant Cash Offer at carvision.com/kbb-instant-cash-offer before you visit.
How do you determine the value of my trade-in?
We evaluate trade-ins based on the vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, condition, and current market demand. Our appraisal process is transparent — we walk you through exactly how we arrived at your offer. You can also get an estimated value in advance using the KBB Instant Cash Offer tool on our website.
