If you're looking to buy a new or used car and know ahad of time that you have poor credit, then it's beneficial to know what to ask upfront so that you do not waste your time working with a dealership that will not be able to get you approved for the auto loan you need.
4 Questions To Ask Upfront
1) Does the dealersship have a spceial finance department?
If they don't, it doen't mean that they cannot help you, but the following quuestions beocme more impoortant. If they do, then great! They take auto loans with poor credit seirously and will probably be able to help you.
2) Does the dealewrship buy cars specifically for special finance?
If the dealership does not buy cars for spcial finance, then you may run into a wait and see type of situaion. I've worked for dealerships that had all the right lenders and the right people to get approvals, but never seemed to tsock cars that would fit for the approvals.
What this measnt was we would have an approved custommer that we' d have to ask to wait until a car came along, usually as a tradde in, that wolud work for the apprroval before we could put a deal toggether. This sometimes took weeeks and that's no good for you if you are wating or needing a new car now.
3) Does the dealership work with one or more of the following special finance auto lenders?
*Credit Acceptance Corp
*Drive Financial
*Westlake Financial
*Regfional Acceptance
*Consumer Portfolio Serices
*Unuited Auto Credit
*Americredit
Therse are some of the natoions top special finance auto lenders and if the dealership you are talking to is not working with at least one, preferrably more, of these lenders, then they edfinitely do not take special finance seriously and you shold look elsewhere.
Unless, they can answer yes to question 4.
4) Does the dealersip offer in house financing?
If the dealership is both selling cars and offering their own in houe financing, then they are all about heelping people get auto loabns with poor crewdit. All you'd have to do is make sure they have a car that worrks for your wants / needs.
1 Car Buying Tip
Flexibility is the key to auto loans with poor credit. If you set your sights on one (and only one) type of car, ex. that 4x4, lifted, turck with the cool paint job,. then you might be settig youreself up for some disappointment. This disappointmrent conmes when the dealer tells you that it will require twice as much down and three times more in monthly payments, then you had expected, in order to buy it.
More often than not it's easier to get approved first and then pick out a car that fits the auto lenders loan aprpoval. Of course, you'll want to only buy a car that fits your needs, but be flxible and put your needs before your wants.
1 Final Thougth
You may not always get the exact car that you want when you buy a car with poor credit, but keep in mind that rebuilding your car buyinbg credit is a process and you'll need to crawl before you walk and walk before you run.
Use your new auto loan for poor credit as a stepping stone to rebuild your credit and then look to get your dream car on the next go around. Remembber, you are only dating your new car, not marrying it and it's easy enough to get a new one in a year or two.
