A Network of Outside Lending Partners. The Car Shoppe is a retail used vehicle dealership that works with a range of third-party lenders. Some of those lenders focus on customers with challenged credit, limited history, or past financial setbacks, which gives our team more ways to find a fit for you. Approval, rates, and terms are set by the lender and depend on your application and the vehicle you choose.

Pre-qualification is not a guarantee of approval. All financing is subject to lender approval. Rates, terms, and required down payment vary by applicant, lender, and vehicle.
What types of vehicles does The Car Shoppe sell?
The Car Shoppe carries a wide selection of quality pre-owned cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and crossovers from many of today's most popular makes, including plenty of vehicles priced under $20K. Fresh inventory arrives regularly, so check back online often or contact our Mechanicville team if you are looking for something specific. Our vehicle locating service can help track it down.
Do you offer financing for all credit situations?
Yes. We work with customers who have good credit, bad credit, no credit, and first-time buyers. As a retail dealership, The Car Shoppe works with a network of outside lenders, including lenders that focus on challenged credit and credit rebuilding, which gives our team more options to help a wide range of buyers. All financing is subject to lender approval.
Do you accept trade-ins?
Yes. We accept trade-ins, and you can use our Value My Trade form to get the process started online. Putting your trade-in value toward your down payment may lower the amount you need to finance and makes it easier to move into your next car, truck, or SUV. We also buy vehicles outright if you would rather just sell.

How do I get started with financing?
Fill out our secure online pre-qualification form. It only takes a few minutes. A member of The Car Shoppe team in Mechanicville will review your information and reach out to talk through the financing options that may be available from our outside lending partners.
Can first-time buyers qualify for financing?
Yes, it is possible. We regularly help first-time buyers and customers with little or no credit history. Several of our lending partners offer programs for new buyers, and steady income and time on the job often carry a lot of weight. Our team will walk you through what lenders look for and help you find a vehicle that fits.
What should I bring when applying for financing?
Every lender is a little different, but it helps to bring a valid driver's license, recent pay stubs or other proof of income, proof of residence such as a utility bill, and your current insurance information. If you have a trade-in, bring the title or payoff details too. Our team will let you know if your lender needs anything else.
Will applying for financing affect my credit score?
A full financing application may involve a credit inquiry, depending on the lender and program being considered. Before anything is submitted, our team will explain how your credit will be reviewed and answer any questions so you can decide how you want to move forward.
How long does the financing process usually take?
Many lending decisions come back quickly once we have your complete information. Timing depends on the lender and any documents they require, but our team works to keep things moving so you can spend less time waiting and more time driving. Having your paperwork ready when you visit helps speed things up.
