Your CDJR Finance Center Serving Temple Hills, MD

Our finance center sits inside our Temple Hills dealership, but the work our team does reaches drivers throughout Camp Springs and the greater DMV area. Buyers sit down with us, walk through their options, and get the numbers explained in plain terms before anyone signs anything.

We've been at this a long time. Easterns Automotive Group is family-owned and has served the region since 1988, building our business around a simple idea captured in our slogan: "Where Your Job is Your Credit." Over 30-plus years, we've sold more than 150,000 used vehicles, and we've long helped customers with poor or bad credit, and even those coming out of Chapter 7 bankruptcy, find a vehicle that works for their situation. We've seen just about every credit situation a buyer can walk in with, and we know how to work with it rather than around it.

Why Finance Your Next Vehicle Instead of Paying Cash

Paying cash for a vehicle sounds simple, but it's rarely the smartest move financially. Financing lets you spread the cost of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram over time instead of draining your savings in one shot. Most buyers don't realize how much that difference matters until they're facing an unexpected expense right after a big cash purchase.

Keeping cash on hand gives you breathing room for emergencies, investments, or simply everyday life. Financing your vehicle instead of paying cash keeps that flexibility intact. It also gives you a chance to build credit through consistent, on-time payments, which can translate into better terms the next time you borrow money for a vehicle, a home, or a personal loan. This is part of why first-time buyer programs exist: they're designed to help someone establish a credit history while keeping monthly payments realistic for a starting budget.

Flexible Terms for New and Used CDJR Vehicles

Not every buyer wants the same kind of deal, so we work with a range of structures depending on what fits your life. A standard auto loan typically runs anywhere from three to seven years, and once you make that final payment, the vehicle is yours outright.

Leasing works differently: terms usually run two to four years, come with mileage options built in, and let you drive a new Jeep or Ram every few years instead of committing long-term. For well-qualified buyers financing through Stellantis Financial Services (SFS), deferred payment offers may also be available on select vehicles, letting you delay your first payment; ask our finance team about current terms. That can help if you're timing a purchase around a paycheck cycle or a move.

Why Finance With Easterns CDJR

Financing through a dealership that only sells one brand and works with one or two lenders limits your options before you even start. We take a different approach.

Access to Multiple Lenders for Competitive Rates

We combine factory Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram expertise with the broader lender network built by Easterns Automotive Group, so our finance center shops your application across multiple banks and credit unions rather than settling for whatever a single lender offers. That matters when it comes to landing a competitive rate. New-vehicle purchases can also be financed through Stellantis Financial Services, which offers conveniences like auto pay, e-statements, and account management through the mySFS App.

Finance Solutions for All Credit Situations

We work with buyers across the credit spectrum. Maybe you have no credit history yet, a past repossession, a bankruptcy on record, or strong credit and you're just after the best possible terms. We can't hand out guaranteed approvals (no honest dealership can), but we can build flexible options around your specific situation. That inclusive approach is part of what separates a Temple Hills dealership like ours from a typical single-lender showroom.

What You Need to Get a Car Loan in Maryland

Getting approved goes faster when you show up prepared. Our finance center typically asks for the following.

Required Documents and Proof of Income

Most applications require:

• Proof of income, such as recent pay stubs, W-2s, or tax returns if you're self-employed.
• A government-issued ID.
• Proof of insurance.
• Trade-in title and payoff information, if you're trading in a vehicle.

Applicants with very good credit may occasionally see the income documentation requirement waived, but proof of insurance is essentially non-negotiable for any loan.

Credit, Down Payment and Residency Requirements

Maryland has its own rules that factor into the financing process. The state requires minimum liability coverage of 30/60/15, meaning $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $15,000 for property damage; some lenders will also require comprehensive coverage on top of that state minimum. You'll need a valid Maryland driver's license or documented proof of residential address, and if you're new to the state, Maryland law requires you to title and register your vehicle within 60 days.

A Maryland Safety Inspection Certificate is also required before you can title or register most used vehicles. A down payment and steady income won't just satisfy paperwork requirements; they genuinely speed up your approval and can improve the terms you're offered.

How Our Online Financing Process Works

We built our online process so you can handle most of the legwork before you ever step onto the lot. It works in four steps. First, browse our vehicle inventory online to find the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram model that fits your needs. Second, complete a secure finance application from home; no need to book an appointment just to get started. Third, our finance center reviews your application and matches you with a suitable lender from our network. Fourth, you'll finalize the paperwork and coordinate delivery or pickup with a member of our team, who can also walk you through your trade-in value, help structure a monthly payment that fits your budget, and explain GAP coverage if it makes sense for your situation.
