Private Party
Private Party Financing
Found the right RV, boat, or powersports unit on Facebook Marketplace, a forum, or a local listing — but the seller isn't a dealer? CK Finance often helps buyers finance private-party purchases through our nationwide lender network.
How private-party deals differ
Dealer deals have an F&I desk. Private sales need extra care around:
- Clear title and lien payoff (if the seller still owes)
- Accurate value (NADA, appraisal, or survey as lenders require)
- Bill of sale and inspection expectations
- Titling and registration in your state
We're brokers — we help coordinate financing; you and the seller handle ownership transfer per local law.
Unit types we commonly see
- RVs and travel trailers — RV loans
- Boats and pontoons — Boat loans
- ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, PWCs — Powersports loans
Not every lender accepts every private-party scenario. An early conversation with us saves everyone time.
