Are you among the millions of people that have damaged credit and need a vehicle? Whether you're looking to buy a new or used car, good news!
auto loans for bad credit are being approved more today than ever before.
There are many options available to you. It may be that you have no credit history at all. This does not mean that you're going to continuously hear "NO". There are multiple lending institutions that approve car loans for people with bad credit or no credit. Check banks and credit unions to see exactly what you would qualify for, and under what terms and interest rate. Car dealerships and manufacturers are usually a sure bet. Be careful though, dealerships inflate the deal in anyway possible to make extra money. They know you are aware of your credit situation and they will take full advantage of that.
The best scenario is to get a copy of your credit report before you try to get any loan. Get pre-approval from another institution before going to the dealership. The dealership wants to sell you a vehicle. If they know ahead that you have done your homework and have guidelines, they won't try to pull extra cash out of your pocket.
If all does fail, and there is no possible way you can get a loan on your own, get a co-signer. A co-signer guarantees the loan. Make sure the co-signer is fully aware of the obligation he/she is getting themselves into. The co-signor will be responsible for the full loan if you default on your monthly payments. In other words, they are taking the risk that you're going to uphold your commitment to repay the loan.
Car loans for people with bad credit are no longer the impossible. The fact is it can be quick and easy. Be patient. Become knowledgeable about what is the wisest choice in loan options. Don't get pressured into buying above your means. It is a sure fire way to build your credit back up so that you will no longer be a risk to financial lenders.
