Wall, N.J. (Monday, December 31, 2012) – Local credit unions like First Financial Federal Credit Union are taking steps to help their members to secure competitive car loans. At a time when many residents of the Jersey Shore have to replace their vehicles due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, this is good news!
First Financial is currently offering 2 percent cash back* on auto loans for new or preowned vehicles. The incentive is issued in the form of a check after the first auto payment is made and can be used to pay down the loan, purchase gas, or however else the member wishes.
They also offer AutoSMART, a free car buying and research tool that helps consumers find new and used vehicles as well as specialty vehicles like boats and ATVs. First Financial also posts monthly AutoSMART facts and “Find-A-Car” trivia questions on their Facebook page where they award $50 Wawa gas cards each month.
“Consumers are often bombarded with a variety of rates and deals when they shop for a car,” said Nancy Culp, First Financial’s AVP of Lending and Sales. “We’ve tried to make the search, purchase and financing easier for them.”
For more information, contact First Financial Credit Union at 866.750.0100 or visit their website at www.firstffcu.com.
* Cash back amount will be 2% of the approved First Financial auto loan amount, $100 minimum and $1,000 maximum, payable after the first loan payment is made and within 30 days after receiving the title with the perfected lien showing First Financial FCU as lien holder. All cash back checks must be picked up at the nearest First Financial branch location. This prize or a portion of this prize may be income reportable to the IRS on 1099-MISC and requires completion of a W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification form. A First Financial membership is required to obtain a First Financial auto loan and is available to anyone who lives, works, worships, volunteers or attends school in Monmouth or Ocean Counties.
