    A Cap One approval will come with a list of items you need to provide, like pay stubs and phone bill. It will also have a list of requirements for your dealer to follow, such as vehicle age and maximum miles, and LTV %. they can be a quick and easy way to get a loan taken care of, but please, pretty please, let the dealer know you have a Cap One approval up front, so they can work through the Cap One guidelines from the start. Nothing sucks more than thinking you have bought a car, then going into the business office to do the paper work, only to discover you picked out a car that won't meet Cap One's guidelines and you get to start the sales process all over from the beginning.

    Do a google search of all the credit unions in your area. Their loan rates are very competitive. For myself, I would never consider Cap One.

    Capital One's rates are higher than your local bank rates,and if you have a good car dealer(I know,very hard to find) they also have most of the local bank's rates.
