Figuring out vehicle financing on your own can be stressful—from auto loan terms and rates to pre-approvals, refinancing, and more. Fortunately, the team at Excite Credit Union is here to guide you through the entire process, helping you secure a car loan that’s affordable and tailored to your needs.
Here are nine reasons why choosing an Excite auto loan makes sense.
1. Member-first approach
Discover the benefits of getting an auto loan from a credit union! Unlike traditional banks, where profits go to shareholders, our profits go directly back to our Members. Our not‑for‑profit structure helps us offer competitive rates and low fees. By choosing Excite, you’re joining a community committed to your financial wellness.

2. Great interest rates
Our competitive interest rates make monthly payments manageable, whether you’re buying a brand-new vehicle, a reliable used option, or a budget-friendly older model. Even small differences in interest rates can have a big impact over the life of your loan. At Excite, we prioritize offering competitive rates because your financial health matters.
Compare our rates for new, used, and older cars.
3. Terms to fit your budget
We offer loan terms of up to 84 months, giving you the flexibility to structure your financing in a way that works best for you. Our goal is to help you manage your payments comfortably while keeping your budget in mind. With Excite’s options, you can focus on enjoying your new vehicle instead of worrying about your loan.

4. Support for first-time car buyers
If you’ve never financed a new or used car, the process can sound intimidating. Our First-Time Auto Buyer Program walks you through each step, from understanding how auto loans work to securing financing that meets your needs. You don’t need a long credit history to qualify, and with the Excite team’s support, buying your first car can be an empowering experience.

5. Flexible options, including private seller loans and lease buyouts
Buying from a private seller can feel intimidating, but we make it simple. We’ll guide you through the process, ensure financing is safe, and give you the confidence to complete your purchase smoothly. If you’re leasing and want to keep your car, Excite’s lease buyout makes it straightforward to take ownership without complications.

6. Loans for other kinds of vehicles
We offer loans for motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles (RVs), and electric vehicles. No matter your choice, Excite will make sure your financing fits it.

7. Easy refinancing
If you have an auto loan with another lender, refinancing with Excite could help you save money and simplify your finances. We’ll pay off your existing loan and replace it with one tailored to your needs. Refinancing may help you lower your monthly payments, reduce your interest rate, or access cash through a cash-out refinance. Plus, you can get a fast loan decision!

8. Fast pre-qualification and pre-approval
Pre-qualification provides a quick estimate of how much you may be able to borrow—with no impact to your credit—while pre-approval is a stronger commitment based on your credit and finances that confirms your loan amount. Selected, qualified Members who receive a pre-approval from Excite can shop with confidence and stay within their budget.
