New and Used Auto Loan Rates

How would you like the low monthly payments of a lease, but on a new or pre-owned vehicle AND without all the heavy restrictions and hidden costs of leasing?

Sounds impossible? It’s not — with First Northern’s Driving Sense™! 

Monthly payments up to 40% less than conventional financing

Like a lease, Driving Sense offers payments that are considerably lower than conventional financing. But unlike a lease, with Driving Sense you own the vehicle and have all of the flexibility and benefits of vehicle ownership! Other benefits include: 

  • Available on new or pre-owned vehicle purchases, or refinance your existing loan
  • Vehicles up to five years old qualify 
  • Flexible loan terms of up to 72 months  
  • Mileage options from 7,500 to 18,000/year
  • No down payment, no early payoff penalty, no security deposit and no acquisition fees 
  • Easily upgrade and/or change your vehicle every couple of years—or walk away at the end of your term! 
  • GAP coverage is included at no additional cost ($625 value)
  • A one-time program fee of $895 applies which can be paid upfront or financed into the loan1
  • Optional Extended Warranty and Mechanical Repair Coverage available
