Local lenders
We work directly with local lenders to find good rates and reasonable financing.
Shorter terms
36 months instead of 60, so you own your car sooner and pay far less interest.
Build your credit
An UpSHIFT loan is likely to help your credit, not hurt it.
Example based on a $6,000 vehicle. UpSHIFT: sold at 85% of value, 12% interest, 36 months. Typical buy-here-pay-here: sold at 200% of value, 24% interest, 60 months. Figures from SHIFT Garage’s research using South Dakota interest rates and buy-here-pay-here deals shared by our customers.
