Illinois Auto Equity Loans

In order for consumers to determine how much they can borrow with an online title loan, they need to determine how much equity they have in their vehicle. Auto equity is the amount of a car's value the owner actually owns. If a car is not yet paid off, the lending company that financed the car loan owns part of the auto equity. Most lenders will only approve a title loan online for borrowers who own a vehicle that is paid off or nearly paid off.

To determine a used car's value, the Kelley Blue Book is a popular resource. This research tool allows consumers to search for their car's make, model and year as well as add the appropriate options to get the car's value. The Kelley Blue Book gives consumers the retail value, the private party sale value and the trade-in value. The trade-in value (sometime equal to the wholesale value of the vehicle) will be the most instructive for those seeking a title loan. Lenders will use this to determine how much they can afford to lend borrowers.
