Financing with Bad or Even No Credit

Financing a car with no credit most times means a higher down payment, as well as interest rates higher than the average. Make sure you go in knowing your budget and be prepared to negotiate. Remember these tips before making your way to the dealership:

• Ask questions and don’t assume you won’t be approved. You are not obligated to take the first offer given, though it may seem like the only financing option at the moment. Ask questions and see if there are other options that would better benefit you.
• Revive your credit score. Build up your credit if your credit score isn’t where you’d like it to be. (If your credit score improves after you take our your loan, consider refinancing.) Use your card on small purchases and immediately pay it off. This will help you raise your credit score in no time.
• Know your budget and your credit score (if you have one). When applying for financing, your credit score can take a hit. Keep all of your loan applications within a 14-day period to limit the potential damage on your score.
• Separate price negotiation from financing. The first offer isn’t the only one. Many dealerships go through multiple lenders.
• Be prepared for a higher cost. Leave room in your budget for higher interest rates, a larger down payment, or both, especially if you have no credit. This goes double if you’re considering an in-house financing car lot.
• Leasing might be a better option. Learn more about leasing options. These payments may also be higher than the average lease, but is cheaper than trying to purchase a vehicle.
