What You’ll Need to Get a Bad Credit Car Loan

January 9th, 2009

If you’re in the market for a car, but have less than perfect credit, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Thousands of people need to buy cars each year, but are unable to do so with cash and have bad credit. Dealers, like us, are happy to work with any financial situation in order to ensure that our customers are able to buy a car that suits their lifestyle and needs without breaking their bank accounts.

In order to get a bad credit car loan, there are a few things that you’ll need to show your dealer or other lender. Here are a few of those important things:

Identification

Your dealer will want to ensure that you are who you say you are by seeing at least one form of identification. Many dealers want to have two forms, such as a drivers license and a credit card. The lender will use this identification to run an official credit check. If you have bad credit, then this information will be uncovered in the credit check.

Proof of Income and/or Savings

If you have a job, then you will need to provide a pay stub proving that you have a regular source of income. If you are unemployed, then you may need to provide a bank statement indicating that you do have some financial means, even if it is not a lot.

Your lender wants to see your financial records because he or she wants to confirm that you will have the ability to repay the bad credit car loan in a timely manner and with some degree of reliability.

Co-Signer

Many folks with bad credit are unable to get an interest rate and loan amount that they had been looking for. If this is the case with your bad credit car loan, then it is important that you look into the possibility of having a co-signer work with you to get your loan. A co-signer offers an extra degree of assurance to a lender that the lender will be able to receive his or her monthly payment.

If you are unable to pay off the loan for any reason, then the co-signer will come into place. The lender can contact the co-signer in order to receive the payments that you are unable to make.

What is Car Financing?

December 29th, 2008

You’ve probably heard about car financing if you’ve been looking to purchase a car. Dealers may have already offered you car financing options. You may have even seen advertisements for low interest rate car financing. However, none of these offers or advertisements can possibly mean anything to you unless you truly understand what car financing is. Here is a brief overview of what car financing is that can get you started thinking about whether or not car financing is right for you:

It Starts with Your Budget

Car financing is all about money and your budget. When you go to buy a car, you will need to have money to pay for the car. Many people do not have enough money to pay for the full price of a car outright. In such a situation, they can either wait to save their money or they can look into alternative options that will help them buy the car. Car financing is a system that can help you buy a car, but it’s not a short-term solution. Instead, car financing is a long-term solution that needs to suit your long-term budget and financial plan.

It’s a Loan

When you do not have enough money to buy a car outright, then you’ll need to take out a loan for the car. Some people get loans from family members or friends. Some people turn to banks. Our dealership offers its own competitive car financing program. These are all sources for car financing loans. However, whenever you take out a loan, you need to remember that the loan is a long-term financial responsibility. You’ll need to be committed to paying it back in monthly increments for the full term of the loan, which can be many years.

It Can Help Your Credit

If you are concerned about your credit history or the future of your credit, then you should know that car financing can actually help your credit. A credit history report is sort of like a report card showing how well you have been able to pay off previous loans and how well you have managed your money. When you take out a loan for car financing and are able to pay off the loan, then your credit history will show that you have been financing reliable, which will reflect well in the future when you go to take out a loan.
