New Auto Loans
POLAM finances up to 125% of the purchase price including tax and license with flexible terms! Once you have negotiated your best deal, a dealer will customarily give you seven days to arrange financing.
Most often, we can complete the loan within 48 hours or less from the time we receive a complete application. Comprehensive insurance naming the credit union as a loss payee is required.
Used Auto Loans
Often a well- equipped, low mileage auto can be a better value than a new car. You should however research the car’s reliability, resale value and consumer satisfaction reviews.
Buying from a dealer is much simpler but often private parties are the better deals. A Carfax report is a good source of information about a car’s history.
Once you have made a selection, download an application from our website and submit it to us along with the purchase agreement, if buying from a dealer, or bill of sale and copy of registration if buying from a private party.
POLAM will lend up to 125% of the Lending Value as determined by Kelley Blue Book Quick Values. Our used auto rates are consistently lower than banks or auto dealers. Loans require comprehensive and collision auto insurance with a maximum deductible of $1000.00. For more information, please contact us at (800) 404-5137.
Auto Loan Calculator Help
Use this calculator to calculate loan details when the down payment is expressed as an amount.
Unlike a general loan calculator, this calculator allows for two unknown values. In addition to solving for the monthly payment amount, it will also calculate the "Car Price", the "Down Payment Amount" or the "Loan Amount". Just enter a "0" (zero) for one of the three values and provide the other two.
Note that the calculator calculates what percentage the down payment is of the price of the car. This is handy when a lender requires a borrower to provide a minimum percentage cash deposit.
The term (duration) of the loan is expressed as a number of months.
- 60 months = 5 years
- 120 months = 10 years
- 180 months = 15 years
- 240 months = 20 years
- 360 months = 30 years
If you need the ability to print the amortization schedule, or more flexibility such as selecting different payment or compounding frequencies or the ability to calculate term or interest rate, please see the auto loan calculator here: https://AccurateCalculators.com/auto-loan-calculator

Looking for extra protection? We offer 2 programs to keep you and your family protected.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP coverage) covers the difference between your primary carrier insurance settlement and the payoff of your loan, less delinquent payments, late charges, refundable service warranty contracts, and other insurance related charges.
For example, let’s say the car you purchased for $25,000 is valued at only $16,000. The amount you owe is $21,000 when it is stolen and never recovered or is involved in an accident in which it is damaged beyond repair, most insurance policies will only reimburse you for the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of your vehicle ($16,000), leaving you to repay the remaining loan balance ($5,000). With the GAP coverage, the remaining loan balance ($5,000) is taken care of for you, including your insurance policy deductible, up to $1,000 (up to 150% of the value).
