Hey I intend on doing this route as well. I been a member of DCU since early this year as i didnt even think it would take nearly this long to get the car. I havent done an application yet since i still dont have concrete delivery and dont want the hard pulls. However when i logon the portal it automatically has loan approvals for New car, used car, boat, motorcycle and even increasing the credit card limit on the card i havent ever even used.
The craziness is they have the automatic car loan approval for 2.49 and $50k. I'd want the super lowest rate and match if needed to Tesla like you did. My questions are how do you go about getting the great rate at DCU, is it once you apply and you haggle down? Then when you get a letter from DCU you send to ratematch over at Tesla?
$50k wont cut the full price for the Model S plus that rate is yucky, and honestly i dont even know why they have it there except being a member you get your updated FICO every month free so they kinda already know your credit without a hard pull i guess.
Thanks in advance!
