Protect Your Used Vehicle Investment
Buying a used car is a smart move. We can help make it even smarter by offering optional protection plans—MBP, GAP, and DPW—that reduce the risk of unexpected expenses and help you keep more of your investment over time.
MBP: Mechanical Breakdown Protection
Mechanical Breakdown Protection covers mechanical breakdowns in conjunction with and for a longer duration than the original manufacturer's warranty. This helps ensure that the investment in your vehicle is protected and reduces the possibility of out-of-pocket expenses during an unexpected mechanical failure.

GAP: Guaranteed Asset Protection
If your vehicle is totaled or stolen, your insurance settlement can be significantly less than the outstanding loan balance. GAP is designed to relieve you of the responsibility for the remainder of the loan balance that may not be covered. We’ll make up that difference. As an added benefit with GAP, you will also receive the Auto Advantage Program.

DPW: Depreciation Protection Warranty
Similar to GAP, DPW offers protection if your vehicle is ever totaled, or stolen and not recovered, at any time over the life of the loan. It waives some or all of your loan balance in the event of a total loss of your vehicle. It is equal to the difference between your vehicle’s MSRP or retail value at the time of DPW purchase, less the amount of your loan balance at the time of total loss. As an added benefit with DPW, you will also receive the Auto Advantage Program.
DPW is ideal for those who:
-
Have equity in the vehicle through a down payment, trade-in or rebate at time of purchase
-
Make accelerated loan payments
Benefits include:
-
No mileage, make or year restrictions
-
Coverage can be purchased at any time
-
Coverage is 100% refundable for the first 60 days
