Remember, when you finance at your credit union, it's just that: yours.  Earnings made on loans pay the dividends you, your family, your friends, your co-workers, and your neighbors earn at your credit union.  The earnings stay right here, in our four county area, staying in our communities.

Some tips before talking to an auto salesperson:

        *   Find out the value of your trade in (kbb.com or nadaguides.com are helpful as well as the manufacturers sites)

        *  Contact your insurance company/agent about the estimated cost on new insurance when trading vehicles (you may want to ask your agent for some vehicles that would be good on insurance/gas mileage)

        *  Go out on the internet and build this car to find the dealers costs (again see nadaquides.com and manufacturers sites)

A little home work can go a long way.
