Schumacher Used brings a large inventory of late-model, low-mileage vehicles to you. Before any vehicle is added to our inventory, it must pass a 172-point inspection.

When you first visit Schumacher Used, the rates and monthly payments you see for each vehicle are averages and not based on your individual credit score and down payment.

 

These estimates are designed to provide you an estimate of your monthly payment. Your actual monthly payments will vary based on your personal credit.

 

Personalized payments provide estimates of your monthly payments, empowering you to see financing details on most vehicles, including:

 

  • Down payment
  • Rates
  • Terms
  • Local taxes and fees

 

Like pre-qualification, getting your personalized payments will not impact your credit. Unlocking your personalized payments is quick and easy. It takes just a few moments to fill some basic information. Personalized payments are estimates based on limited information you provide to us and not an offer or commitment to provide credit or financing. Eligibility for credit and actual payments are based on the results of your credit application.
