Online Auto Loans
Top Recommendation for auto loans and motorcycle loans

Capital One Auto Finance - Formerly Peoplefirst.com (Offer auto loans and motorcycle loans - our top recommended company)

From their website:
Capital One Auto Finance is America's largest online originator and servicer of Blank Check® vehicle loans.

Capital One Financial Corporation is one of the world's top issuers of MasterCard and Visa credit cards. In addition to being a credit card company, Capital One is a full-service resource for people seeking a variety of consumer lending products, including vehicle loans.

Capital One Auto Finance, America's largest online vehicle lender, provides vehicle loans to customers directly via the Internet, as well as through dealerships nationwide.

Hassle-free online process
Using innovative technology, Capital One provides vehicle financing solutions to customers of various credit backgrounds. Applying online is safe and easy, and it takes just minutes to get a response. Once approved, qualified customers receive a no-obligation Blank Check®, which works like a personal check and can be used to buy a new or used car or motorcycle, refinance or even buy out a lease.

Capital One has helped hundreds of thousands of people experience how easy vehicle financing can be. In fact, Capital One ensures customer satisfaction with a $100 Loan Experience Guarantee*. That's how committed Capital One is to delivering an unsurpassed level of service to its customers.

History
In October 2001, Capital One Financial Corporation acquired PeopleFirst.com. Founded in 1995 and based in San Diego, California, PeopleFirst changed its name to Capital One Auto Finance in June 2003.

Peoplefirst.com Reviews and Comments I found on-line:

Usenet message 1 - best rate on motorcycle loan and easy to use
Usenet message 2 - motorcycle loan process with Peoplefirst was "smooth as silk"
Usenet message 3 - "super easy to work with and they have decent rates"

Overall, many positive comments. To summarize, convenient, fast approval, hassle-free and excellent customer service. Approval decisions are made within 15 minutes. They earn our highest recommendation for car and motorcycle loans.

E-LOAN Loan Center (Offering automobile loans, motorcycle loans, and vehicle refinancing) from their website:

Getting your auto financing from E-LOAN saves you time, money and hassle. If you are approved, you'll receive loan documents online or in the mail that you can use to purchase almost any vehicle from the franchised dealer of your choice. It's just like shopping with cash in hand. And, if you ask for the Internet Sales Manager at the dealership, you can usually increase your savings and speed up the sales transaction.

E-Loan Reviews and Comments I found on-line:

Usenet message 1 - Good auto loan experience, problems with home loan experience, yet still would recommend them as they handled it well.

I also found a few message with people saying that auto dealerships did not want to take an e-loan check because e-loan holds it for a while before clearing it. However, from the web site:

If the dealer doesn't accept my E-Fund Agreement, what do I do?
If, for any reason, the dealer is reluctant to accept your E-Fund Agreement, please call us toll-free at 1-800-598-6069.

I don't know what they will do for you at that number, but I'm guessing they may wire the money or resolve the problem some other way. I'd appreciate if anyone has any other feedback they can send me.

Also, you can refinance your car loan with E-LOAN today Given how much rates have dropped - this is probably a good opportunity to check this out.

1-800AutoYes.com - From their website:

"Get a free 2 minute, no-obligation auto loan"

I was unable to find any significant information or feedback on this company. However, as it appears they offer a no obligation loan, it may be worthwhile to apply to see what sort of rate they can provide.
