An auto loan is one of the most effective tools for rebuilding a damaged credit profile. Unlike some "buy here, pay here" lots, we work with lenders who report your timely payments to the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). Each on-time payment you make acts as a positive mark on your credit history, gradually increasing your score over the life of the loan. This not only helps you secure your current transportation needs but also opens doors for better financial opportunities in the future. By financing a vehicle with us, you are making a smart investment in your financial well-being.
If you currently own a vehicle, trading it in can be a fantastic way to lower your overall purchase price and reduce your monthly payments. A trade-in can serve as a significant portion, or even all, of your down payment. This reduces the amount you need to finance, often resulting in more favorable loan terms and lower interest rates. We offer fair, market-based values for all trade-ins, regardless of their condition. You can get an instant estimate of your vehicle's worth by using our online Value My Trade tool. Let your old car work for you and make your new purchase even more affordable.
Yes, you absolutely can. We specialize in helping customers with past bankruptcies, whether they are discharged or still open. Many of our lending partners have specific programs designed for individuals who are recovering from bankruptcy. We understand the process and can guide you toward lenders who are willing to give you a second chance at financing a vehicle.
To expedite the financing process, it is helpful to bring a few key documents. These typically include a valid driver's license, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs), proof of residence (like a utility bill), and proof of auto insurance. If you have a trade-in, remember to bring the title. Our team will provide a specific list when you contact us.
When you first apply, we can often get you pre-qualified with a "soft pull" which does not impact your credit score. When you decide to move forward with a specific loan, the lender will perform a "hard inquiry," which may have a small, temporary impact on your score. However, the positive effect of making consistent, on-time payments on your new loan will far outweigh this minor initial dip over time.
While a down payment is often recommended as it can lower your monthly payment and improve your chances of approval, it is not always a requirement. We work with various programs, including some with low or even zero-down options for qualified buyers. Trading in a vehicle can also serve as your down payment. We will work with you to find a solution that fits your current financial situation.
Interest rates for subprime loans are typically higher than those for borrowers with excellent credit, as they reflect the increased risk to the lender. However, our extensive network of lenders allows us to shop for the most competitive rates available for your specific credit profile. Our goal is to secure a loan with a manageable monthly payment that helps you rebuild your credit rating for better rates in the future.
