DALLAS — Geared as the next step beyond just getting shoppers to dealers, Vehix recently selected RoadLoans.com as its preferred lender. Now potential buyers can apply for vehicle financing through RoadLoans.com as part of their shopping experience.

Consumers shopping at Vehix.com now will see the RoadLoans.com finance option when they search for a particular vehicle and indicate they need financing.

Once at the RoadLoans.com website, shoppers can complete a secure online loan application and receive a loan decision in less than a minute. Consumers can customize their loan and select preferences for annual percentage rate, loan term and down payment amount.

"Vehix and Jumpstart are leaders in the online car shopping market," declared Will Stacy, vice president of marketing for Santander Consumer USA, which founded RoadLoans.com back in 1997.
