If you’re shopping for a car around Southfield, financing is what determines the car that you can actually drive off the lot. A rate that’s even half a point lower changes your monthly payment and what you pay over the life of the loan, so where you finance matters as much as what you buy. People Driven Credit Union has a long history in Southeast Michigan, and our Southfield branch on Lahser Road is a short drive from Woodward Avenue. Whether you’re buying new, buying used, refinancing a loan from another lender, or chasing a classic for this year’s Dream Cruise, there’s an auto loan here that fits. 
Our auto loans are designed to fit your budget and lifestyle.
When considering options, it’s essential to compare various auto loans to find the best rate for your needs.
Auto Loan Rates Near Southfield
When you finance a car with People Driven Credit Union, your rate depends on your credit, the loan term, and the age of the vehicle. Shorter terms and newer vehicles run lower, and members who set up autopay from a People Driven Credit Union checking or savings account get a 0.25% APR discount that’s already built into the advertised auto loan rates.

Choosing the right auto loans can significantly impact your financial future.
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Your actual rate and term depend on your creditworthiness, the amount borrowed, the term, and the vehicle’s age, value, and condition. Rates are subject to change. The advertised rate includes a 0.25% autopay discount for eligible members. Membership and credit approval required.
Current members approved for an auto loan also have the option to make no payments for the first 90 days. Interest still accrues during that period. To see how a term and amount pencil out before you apply, run the numbers with our financial calculators.
New, Used & Refinanced Auto Loans
We also offer special rates on auto loans for new members!
The same online application can be used to apply for a new or used car, a dealership purchase, or a private-party sale. If you already have an auto loan somewhere else, it’s worth checking whether you can refinance your vehicle for a better deal, especially if your current rate is higher than what we offer or if your credit has improved since you signed.
Refinancing can lower your monthly payment or shorten your term. Once you apply online, we request a payoff amount from your current lender; you sign, and we pay off the old loan directly.

Classic Car Loans on the Woodward Corridor
Southfield sits right on the Woodward Avenue corridor, where the Woodward Dream Cruise draws thousands of classic and collector cars every August. If you’re buying one, People Driven Credit Union offers classic car loans near Southfield.
Our classic car auto loans cater to enthusiasts looking for a unique investment.
To qualify, the vehicle needs to be at least 26 years old with proof of collectible value, and the buyer must have a minimum credit score of 660. Terms run up to 96 months, and financing can cover up to 100% of the appraised value. We also finance exotic and higher-end collector vehicles.
Buying a classic isn’t like buying off a dealer’s lot, so build in time for valuation, an appraisal from a licensed appraiser, and a mechanic’s inspection before you commit to a purchase.
