Pre approved just means the bank will finance the loan if you meet their requirements. Doesn't mean you will for sure get the loan, it just means, show them the car that you want, and see if you qualify. It does not guarantee financing.

In some areas and if done properly, pre-approval for a car loan can save you time. You complete the loan application and if approved you will have a price guideline that facilitates your shopping. The lender will evaluate your application and if all goes well, pre approve a certain amount for a loan. If you complete the pre approval process and shop promptly, your loan amount is only waiting to be activated. You can get pre approval from dealerships or an outside lender. By using an outside lender you can avoid loans from car dealerships that add a percentage to the interest rate. You must take care to fully understand the pre approval process you choose and the consequences of any documents you sign.

Can a financed car be used as collateral for a loan?

Since the car is financed, it already is collateral for a loan. Your car loan uses the car as collateral for that loan.
