Fresh Start Auto Lending

Fresh Start auto lending is how we help you meet your financial goals.

We don't want our members to pay more just because of a few financial blunders. We offer more favorable options than most buy-here-pay-here and payday lenders. Let Downeast CU help leave your financial troubles behind and start over with a Fresh Start loan. With over 80 years in the business, we encourage borrowers to take the leap toward financial stability with us.

Through our Fresh Start loans we:

  • Help members into reliable automobiles and even assist with the car shopping process

  • Offer reasonable lending rates and affordable payments

  • Assist you in building a better credit score to increase your ability to borrow at lower rates in the future
