Will I get approved for this car loan?

I've been a banker at First Merit for almost 2 years and I'm trying to get a car loan for 17,500.00 to buyout my leased 2013 Ford Focus. I've had the car for 12 months and have NEVER been late or missed so much as a penny on that payment. I checked my credit score and it meets First Merit's standards (must have score of 640 or over in order to even apply, mine is a 660) the only downside is that my last job was only for 7 months and that's because of so many lay offs so I switched to my current job a month ago. I'm worried that since I haven't had a good job history that I may not get the loan and it's been three hours and I still haven't heard anything.

First you said you've been a banker for 2 years, then you say last job was 7 months, & now a new job? Kind of confusing. But if you've worked for 2 years steady job should be fine. It's okay to switch jobs, just need to not have gaps between & need to make the same or more money when you change.

You are a banker, would you give a random person walking in off the street a loan for this?

Why do you need to buy out your car loan?
