New/Used Auto

You love the car. Everything about it -- the look, the color, the ride, the features. It's exactly what you've been looking for. Even the price is right. It's on sale, and priced lower than anywhere else. You know. You checked around. It's a perfect deal. But is it? What about financing? After all, buying a new car is a long term deal--two or three years or even longer. How sweet will this deal look down the road, as you write those payment checks every month? Before you get carried away by the car and the price, make sure you're happy with the financing. The way to do that is to stop by First Peoples or call our 24/7 loan center at 301-784-3000 to arrange for a preapproved car loan or fill out the secure online loan application. We have the best rates around, and a variety of payment schedules and terms to match your budget.

Auto Equity

Auto Equity is the homeowner's answer to reducing taxes. With Auto Equity, the primary security for the loan will be a lien on your vehicle -- just like any other auto loan. But, in order for you to take advantage of the additional feature of tax deductible interest*, your home's equity provides secondary collateral. See our rates for terms and other minimum requirements. Apply online, by phone, or in person.

*As with all tax-related issues, it is best to consult your tax advisor to determine how Auto Equity will benefit you

With Member's Choice disability and term life protection, you'll find comfort in knowing that an emotional tragedy doesn't have to become a financial one. Take a look at the value of these two types of payment protection:

Benefits Include:

Automatic eligibility for most borrowers
Simple enrollment
NO medical screening
Immediate coverage
Premium included in your payment

GAP Insurance

The GAP Advantage is an optional benefit that gives you further peace of mind. If the vehicle you are now purchasing ever becomes "totaled," or is stolen and not recovered, GAP Advantage pays an additional $1,000 toward the purchase of a replacement vehicle. Not only will you receive the difference between the value of your vehicle and its unpaid loan balance, but you get a good head start on financing a new or used replacement vehicle when you refinance through First Peoples.
