11) What loan amount should I request?

We suggest that you apply for an amount greater than the amount you think you'll need in order to give yourself some flexibility. Remember that your actual loan amount will be the amount you fill in on your check. For a new or used purchase from a dealer, this can include the sale price of your vehicle, taxes, licensing and registration fees, credit insurance, extended warranty/service contracts, and any other fees, less the value of your trade in and/or down payment.
