It's important to do research on a car before purchasing, which is why Glass City Federal has partnered up with a website called WhereMembersBuy.com.

WhereMembersBuy is an online database of several dealerships in the Northwest Ohio/Southeast Michigan area. The dealerships post their inventory for you to browse, research and even schedule a test drive without ever leaving your couch.

What else can WhereMembersBuy do for you?

• 24/7 online auto shopping
• Ability to talk with Glass City Federal staff about financing
• Online pre-approval
• No dealer phone calls or e-mails, until you are ready
• Complete car history

Feel free to make a profile and browse the inventory, even if you aren't quite ready to committ, when you're ready we'll schedule a meeting or test drive with the dealership.

Happy Car Shopping!
