Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) with PowerBuy

Guaranteed Asset Protection protects you against financial loss in the event their vehicle is damaged beyond repair (totaled) or stolen and never recovered.

PowerBuy will cover the existing vehicle depreciation from the time of purchase through the date of loss after the GAP claim has been settled.

 

GAP WITH POWERBUY

•     Protects your credit rating

•     Eliminates or reduces “out of pocket” expenses for the remaining loan balance after the insurance settlement

•     You are able to purchase replacement vehicle sooner because there is little or no carry-over balance

•      You may purchase GAP with PowerBuy up to 1 year from effective date of loan

•      Waiver may be fully refunded within 60 days of its inception if no GAP benefits have been paid

•      Additional benefits are paid based on the original Purchase Price or NADA/KBB

•      Available on all collateral types indicated on rate schedule

•      Remains in force for the term of the loan


KEEP IN MIND

•     GAP with PowerBuy may provide UP TO $5000 towards the new loan when you return to the Financial Institution for replacement financing.

•      In some cases, the insurance settlement may have covered the loan balance.  In this instance, you are still eligible for the calculated PowerBuy benefit.

•      You can file a GAP with PowerBuy claim at any time during the loan term.

STATISTICS

•     When a new car is driven off the dealer’s lot, it can depreciate 10%–15% of its value. This depreciation can be as high as 30% or more in the first year of ownership on some vehicles.
•     40% of GAP claims submitted had a remaining loan balance

LIMITATIONS

•     GAP with PowerBuy will not cover any delinquent/ skipped/missed payments in excess of the maximum allowable.  Note: Under the terms and conditions of the GAP with PowerBuy Waiver, a skipped payment is a payment that is not made in accordance with the payment schedule as defined in the original loan agreement and is therefore considered “unpaid”.

In the event of a claim, all delinquent/skipped/missed payments of any kind in excess of the maximum allowable will be deducted from any payable GAP benefit.

•     Maximum Limit of Liability for any claim shall not exceed $50,000
•     Portion of the loan at origination that exceeds 125% of MSRP (new auto, van, light truck) or 125% NADA (used auto, van, light truck). Please refer to your Financial Institution for maximums on all eligible collateral.

EXCLUSIONS

GAP with PowerBuy does not cover:

•     Private Passenger Vehicles that exceed 1-Ton load capacity (Note: If vehicle is labeled over 350/3500 it is ineligible for GAP coverage)
•     Any type of vehicle not currently listed in NADA/KBB
•     Commercial vehicles, rental vehicles, taxi cabs, buses, limousines, salvage vehicles
•     Loss occurring prior to the date of the GAP with PowerBuy
policy
•     Late charges, other fees or amounts that are built into or added to the loan balance after the inception date of the loan.

POWERBUY BENEFIT EXAMPLE — BASED ON DEPRECIATION

*Assuming a benefit level of $5,000 for PowerBuy: 

GAP IS GREATER THAN DEPRECIATION

VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE (OR NADA/KBB)**                   $20,000

LOAN BALANCE                                                                       $23,000

– PRIMARY INSURANCE (ACV) SETTLEMENT                      $18,000

= GAP BENEFIT (LOAN BALANCE-ACV)                                 $5,500*

VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE (OR NADA/KBB)**                   $20,000

– PRIMARY INSURANCE (ACV) SETTLEMENT                      $18,000

=DEPRECIATION                                                                       $2,000

*$5,000 WOULD GO TO THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE GAP.


DEPRECIATION IS GREATER THAN GAP

VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE (OR NADA/KBB)**                  $21,000

LOAN BALANCE                                                                       $18,000

– PRIMARY INSURANCE (ACV) SETTLEMENT                      $16,000

= GAP BENEFIT (LOAN BALANCE-ACV)                                $2,000

VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE (OR NADA/KBB)**                   $21,000

– PRIMARY INSURANCE (ACV) SETTLEMENT                      $16,000

=DEPRECIATION/POWERBUY                                                $5,000 

     *$2,000 WOULD GO TO THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE GAP, AND $3,000 TOWARDS THE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

 

The purchase of Guaranteed Asset Protection with PowerBuy is voluntary and cannot be required as a condition of loan approval.

Major Mechanical Protection (MMP) Overview

You don’t need a new car to get new car peace of mind

The average new car is out of warranty in just two and a half years, and as time goes on, the likelihood of mechanical failure on your vehicle is inevitable. Advanced electronics, complex systems, and rising labor costs mean that a repair that might have cost hundreds of dollars a few years ago may now cost you thousands.  Below are some typical cost examples:
  • Transmission …….………..$3,084
  • Air Conditioning…………..$1,217
  • Timing Belt…………...…...$802
  • Front Brakes…………..……$931
  • Seals and Gaskets……..… $1,050
  • Engine…………………….....$7,066
     

With Major Mechanical Protection (MMP), you can protect yourself against these expensive repairs

Plans are available for most new and used domestic and imported vehicles, and MMP is affordable – the total cost of MMP is often far less than the cost of a single repair! Having this coverage extends the life of your vehicle and your budget.  Pay for MMP once, and in most cases you will not have to pay anything more than a small deductible should a breakdown occur.

The best time to invest in a mechanical repair program is when you first buy your vehicle. So before you commit to any other program, compare it to our MMP. We believe you will find this program to be the value-packed winner!

The purchase of MMP is optional. Whether or not you purchase MMP will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit agreement you have with our institution. There are eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions that could prevent you from receiving benefits under MMP. You should carefully read the contract for a full explanation of the terms.
