How to Buy a Car with Bad Credit

 

Bad Credit but you have stable employment?

Similar to your credit history, your employment history can help lenders determine whether you are a good candidate for a loan. Lenders will look to see how long you have been at your current place of employment as well as how much you make monthly. If you have worked at the same job for more than a year, it can make you a better candidate for a loan because it shows you have a stable job.

Find a co-signer

If you have a trusted relative or friend that can co-sign on the loan it can increase your chances of obtaining financing. Moreover, if they have a great credit history this can help you receive a favorable interest rate, which may save you a significant amount of money over the life of the loan. It’s important to note that if someone co-signs a loan for you, that person shares the same obligations you do. If for whatever reason you default on the loan they would become responsible for paying it.

Pay a down payment

A down payment can help you receive the financing you need. If it’s possible, try to make a down payment of at least ten percent of the purchase price of the vehicle, and if you can do more, aim for 20 percent. Keep in mind that the more you are able to put down at the time of the loan closing, the less you will have to pay for the loan. This may also help you earn a better interest rate.
