“Many lenders offer military car loans to active-duty and retired career members of the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard).
These loans generally work the same way other car loans do, though they have some advantages that make them very attractive to service members — interest rates and down payments are lower, longer terms are available, and qualifying criteria are more forgiving.
