Not only can you streamline your entire vehicle purchase by using a CUDL AutoSMART dealer (See article: Buying a Car? Be AutoSMART!), but every time you finance a vehicle through APEX, you can benefit from the APEX Auto Advantage!

  • Get pre-approved and shop with confidence! Call APEX at 610-970-LEND (5363) and have your loan pre-approved. You’ll know exactly what monthly payment you can afford, where you should negotiate on price, and avoid dealer financing pressure!

  • Learn the facts! We’ll provide you with the true value of your trade-in as well as the resale value of any used vehicles you may be interested in purchasing – absolutely free!

  • Streamline your search! With the Motor Vehicle Certification Program (MVCP), we’ll seek out the best price for the new vehicle you are looking for.

  • Finance up to 100% of your purchase! If your credit is approved, you can finance up to 100% of the cost of buying your new vehicle – including tax, tags, and warranties!

  • Avoid out-of-pocket expenses! With Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) coverage, you won’t have to worry about paying the difference between what you owe and what your insurance will cover if your vehicle is stolen or damaged.

  • Eliminate large repair bills! Don’t worry about getting a huge car repair bill! With the Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP) program, your new or pre-owned car will be covered against the increasingly high cost of repairs.

Buying a Car? Be AutoSMART!

Interested in buying a new or used vehicle? As an APEX member, you can streamline your entire vehicle-purchasing experience by going to a CUDL AutoSMART dealer!

What is CUDL?
The Credit Union Direct Lending® (CUDL) system connects your car dealership, APEX, and you to get you the affordable financing you need for the vehicle you want. You can complete all the financing paperwork right at the dealership – you won’t have to come back to the APEX branch office at all!

Why should I choose a CUDL AutoSMART dealer?
Whereas a regular CUDL Dealer can provide you with APEX financing right at the dealership, a CUDL AutoSMART Dealer goes one step further: he or she can process your requests for vehicle quotes directly, streamlining your buying experience and making it more relaxing.

Should I make an appointment with a CUDL AutoSMART dealer?
Yes! When you work with an AutoSMART dealer, the first thing you want to do is make an appointment. Your dealer will provide you with faster service. While an ordinary car-buying experience can take half your day, you can drive away from an AutoSMART dealer in your new car in much less time.

How do I find a CUDL AutoSMART dealer?
Just go online to www.apexfcu.com! We have an entire section explaining the CUDL process and providing you with valuable tools and resources to help you make your next vehicle purchase wisely. You’ll be able to enter your zip code, then select your vehicle make and distance from the drop-down menus. We’ll provide you with the CUDL AutoSMART dealers in your area.

Visit the CUDL AutoSMART section on our website today! By taking advantage of the information and resources available on the website, we hope to make your auto buying experience easier, faster, and more satisfying!
