With Alliant Credit Union’s car buying service, you can shop for your next car right from your couch, giving you space to think clearly and choose with confidence. Without the usual intensity of being in-person with a salesperson, the entire experience is easier, more comfortable, and done entirely on your terms. This way you stay fully in control of your car buying experience.

Avoid stressful negotiations

Haggling over prices and car features can be stressful and isn’t for everyone. We can take that pressure off by helping you lock in your price right away. At no cost via our car buying service, you get a certificate that locks in the price you’ll pay for your new or used car, giving you peace of mind while also saving an average of more than $2,700!¹

Bonus:You get extra savings with an Alliant Auto Loan, a 0.50% APR discount. Choosing a traditional dealership can still give you an advantage by having auto-loan preapproval ready. Car dealers tend to take shoppers with preapproval more seriously, as you’re considered an active buyer rather than a passive one.

Trusting the dealer network

Car buying scams can range from fake or inaccurate social media listings to dealerships with prices that seem too good to be true. Alliant’s TrueCar partnership connects you with a nationwide network of reputable dealers who meet high standards for pricing transparency and customer experience. You’ll also have access to powerful research tools: see what others paid, view photos, read reviews, and check your trade-in value.

Buying preowned? You’ll get a free CARFAX report. With all the information at your fingertips and trusted professionals guiding the process, you can shop for a car with clarity and feel more confident about your purchase.

Car shopping can be easier than you think. With an end-to-end online service, you can easily browse options, compare vehicles, and narrow down your choices on your own time – without the pressure of spending hours at a dealership. We believe the process should be easy and be done on your terms and timeline, from beginning to end.
