Have Dealers Compete For Your Business

By: Alan DeMazzier

Get the facts before you buy a car. Buying a car is a daunting task. You've likely seen a great number of car commercials on TV and recall hearing phrases like "no down payment" and "APR." Although some of the terminology may seem confusing, once you break it down, buying a car is pretty straightforward.

It is extremely important, considering all the information that's out there, that you understand "car talk" before you go and try to make a deal with an auto dealer.

Show up at a dealer without knowing your credit report, and you might as well give them your checkbook. A car dealer should never know more about your credit than you do. Besides, you might find an error in your report preventing you from getting a loan.

If you have bad credit, there is still hope for you buying a car. If your credit score is below 680 and you keep getting rejected, don't submit applications everywhere that keep getting you rejected.

Basically what happens is they take your financial information and brokerage and a number of underwriters that specialize in this type of risky vehicle loan. As long as you don't have bankruptcy on your report and your score is at least 525 you have a better chance of qualifying for bad credit loans.

Try to maintain no negative marks for at least 6 months. You can expect to pay more APR than someone with good credit, but this can help re-establish credit for you. After a few months of paying on time, you may be able refinance the car loan.
