You Really Can Get a New Car Loan With Bad Credit

People so often think that just because they have bad credit, they won’t be able to get a new car loan. So, instead of trying to get a new car, they drive around their rusty old ‘82 Chevette and hope it doesn’t fall apart in the process of getting them to work. The thing is, if you ask most of them, they’ve probably never even tried to get a loan for a new car. They have no idea of options or choices they might have (even with bad credit) in financing a new vehicle. They simply have never tried to get a new car loan with their bad credit.

Lenders want us to believe that if you have a bad, or low credit score, you won’t be able to get financed for a new SUV. Truthfully, depending on your income and the cost of the vehicle, you may not want to get financed. But, if the price is reasonable, then why shouldn’t you be able to get financed for a new car or truck? Well, you really can. Even with bad credit, you can still get a loan for a new vehicle.

There are, however a few things you need to realize and be aware of before you start shopping for your loan.

? Know your credit score. Before you even approach a lender, you are going to want to know what all three of your credit scores are. This way, you won’t be blinded by a higher interest rate than you thought you would get. Also, this is a good way to know how much work it might take to get a new car loan.

? Know the rates. Do some research with some major lenders and find out their rates on new car loans. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you wind up talking to someone, feel free to ask how much the interest rates will jump if you have poor credit.

? Shop, shop, shop around. Often, lenders who specialize in new vehicle loans for people with bad credit will try to charge outrageous amounts of money to allow you the privilege of borrowing their money. Be prepared to be treated like a number and don’t hesitate to look elsewhere if you feel you’re being treated unfairly.

? Major financial institutions often have special lending programs for people with bad credit. It’s a good idea to look into these, as you may get a better rate than if you went through a smaller lender.

? If you have a vehicle in mind, consider going to the dealership. Most of auto dealerships have their own financing team. If you go in and tell them your situation, they will most likely be able to get you a loan for your new SUV, even if you have bad credit.

? Use a car loan calculator. There are several sources for these online, and you will get a clearer idea as to what your interest rates and payments will wind up being.

Before you go anywhere to apply for a new car loan, it’s a good idea to have your last three paycheck stubs and if you’ve been there for a few years, you might even consider having your last year’s W-2’s to show proof of your employment. Don’t forget a valid driver’s license and your social security number.
