Finding, financing and insuring your vehicle online is quick and easy
LÉVIS, QC, April 22, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - It is now possible to find and insure a vehicle online in just a few clicks with the new www.espaceauto.com website. As the first financial institution in Canada to partner with a website specializing in cars and recreational vehicles, Desjardins Group (www.desjardins.com) offers its members and clients a simplified process for purchasing a new vehicle in collaboration with CUDL Canada Services and its Auto Premier brand.
Consumers can expect a smoother ride with this one-stop solution that allows them to shop for a new or used vehicle, browse different financing options, obtain insurance quotes and find useful advice all from the comfort of their own home.
Espaceauto.com is an all-in-one website that provides users with a source of information thanks to a search function for comparing vehicles. It also provides them with tools to help with their purchases including expert opinions, payment calculators and data on the appraisal value for trade-ins. The site will also feature quick links to other Desjardins online services.
Dealerships offering the Desjardins Ready-to-Drive Loan now have an excellent online showcase for their complete inventory, giving them preferred access to 5.6 million Desjardins members and clients.
Online preauthorization financing to Desjardins Ready-to-Drive loan: An advantage for Desjardins members
Desjardins members can apply for a preauthorized loan online through AccèsD, Desjardins' online transactional site. Members will find out quickly—and before going to the dealership—if the requested amount is authorized. At the dealership, they will only need to fill out the summary request for financing without having to hand over a lot of personal information, which is a big improvement in terms of the speed and the overall experience of the financing process.
"We're proud to be launching espaceauto.com and the online loan preauthorization to help members establish a realistic budget and plan the purchase of their next vehicle," says André Chatelain, vice-president and general manager at Desjardins Card Services. "The various site functions make the buying process simple and attractive."
