Can you finance a classic car?
Are you able to finance a classic car? I'm looking to get a 1968 Pontiac Firebird but I would need to finance it.

“Even though you are buying a classic car, you should still be able to finance it.
Most banks will offer loans for vehicles, even if they are classic cars. There are also specific lenders who offer classic car loans. Beyond this, you may be able to get
financing through a dealership
if they specialize in classic cars. If you do finance your classic car, your lender will likely require that you carry
classic car insurance
on it. This is because classic cars have a higher appraised value than their
actual cash value
. If your vehicle is totaled without classic car insurance, you’d end up owing significantly more on your loan than what it’s worth.You should reach out to various lenders to find out what their terms and conditions are. From there, you can determine what financing is best for you.”
