My current fico score is 568 and climbing, possible to get an auto loan?

Right now my Fico score is at 568. On my credit report the reasons stated for my low score is because of a severely late payment 8 months ago from a student loan. The reason for this is that for some reason the lender didn’t update my account as being deferred and when I found out about it, I paid it up to current and have made all other payments on time (before and after this with them). I tried contacting them about this but they are not willing to help with the late payment reporting. I also have a large amount of inquires because I’ve been applied for loans with the “bad credit” dealerships only to be told I can get a used $10000 car for like $500 a month payments (not a very good deal in my eyes because most of the vehicles have 100k miles). Now with what fico has released as the scoring for late payments my interpretation of that would be that my score would be in the 650′s if my student loan had reported correctly. If I were to go to a bank or credit union and explained my situation with that would it help me get into a vehicle or just hurt me with another inquiry? I do have some old collections from a divorce that I have been paying off and having them removed that were from about 4-5 years ago, but now I need a new vehicle and all my excess cash went to old bills so I am limited on a down payment. Currently I have 2 credit cards with a total of $500, 20% utilized just to keep a good reporting. I have been at my employer and address for 18 months and my AGI approx 40k.

I am hoping to get some professional opinions whether it would be possible to get an auto loan through a CU or Bank. Would going to a large dealership be the best bet? Any guess on the probability to get a loan would be great.
I understand I would have a higher interest rate but I am willing to accept that. I am just trying to get into a new or slightly used vehicle and bring my score up by April 2010 to purchase a home.

Can I get a used auto loan in this credit crunch, and how much interest should I expect with bad credit?

J asked:


I have been watching a lot of CNBC and you see all over the news about the current economic crisis. It looks like we are in a credit crunch, and I have heard its affecting getting any kind of credit.

I want to purchase a used car. My credit score is far from great! It is right around 590. I was prepared to pay a high interest rate prior to the economic crisis, but now I am concerned I wont even be able to get a car.

I was looking at purchasing something for around 12-15k and putting 10-20% down. What are my options? What can I expect? Any links the news articles or real world examples appreciated, and any relevant references or resources in concern to CURRENT loan practices.

I knew what to expect two months ago, but I want to know what to expect TODAY! And references or real world experience backing up your statements.

Keep the smart ass comments to yourselves! Thanks! =)

Getting a Good Auto Loan Rate Is Not Luck

Hector Milla asked:


Some people think that one can get a good loan deal only by being at the right place at the right time.

However, this isn’t true. Getting a good auto loan does not depend on your luck; it is a skill which one has to learn. If you are familiar with the tricks and you know how to negotiate, you can get the best deal possible. Do not be nervous and do not hesitate while negotiating for an auto loan because saving so much money should work as a motivational tool. In this article, I am going to give you a few tips which will guide you on how to purchase a new car on an affordable auto loan.

Hector Milla Editor of the “Lowest Auto Loan rates” website — http://www.LowestAutoLoanRates.net — pointed out;

· Purchase at the end of the month

“…Often car dealerships conduct contests and the winner of the contest receives a prize, sometimes a monetary prize. Usually the contests last for a month and by the end of the month, the salespeople are exhausted and can make the sale regardless of the price. During these contests, you can negotiate the terms with the dealer and get a better rate. Obviously, when the price of the vehicle will go down, the rate of the auto loan will go down too…”

· Have a good credit

This is an obvious statement, but not a lot of people are aware of effects of bad credit while obtaining a loan. If you happen to have good credit, you are able to negotiate the terms and buy a vehicle whenever you want. However, if you have poor credit, you have to take some time and put an effort to rebuild credit, only then you can apply for a loan.

· Learn how to negotiate

“…While making a deal with the lender, you have to try and negotiate the terms while keeping in mind that there are other car dealers and loan lenders and you can consult them too. Never just accept the first offer and do not be nervous while negotiating…” added H. Milla.

Auto Loans Rates: so Now Your Car is not a Far Away Dream

Owning a car makes you a part of that society which believes in having luxury. You earn well, your credit is good but still spending it on a car at a go is not something you can afford. A monthly installment scheme which will help you get a car should work out better. Auto loans rates offer you just that very installment scheme you are looking for.

Auto loan rates are influenced and keep changing with the credit score of the borrowers. There are multiple auto loans in the market, some are for good credit holders and some are for bad credit holders. To get the cheap rates, there is a small trick. If you are among those who can bargain well, then you are lucky. If you can bargain smartly and effectively, you can get a loan rate which suits you completely. It is better to start the bargain with very low rates so that, at the end, you can get affordable and easy payable rates.

Many people just consider rate of interest to lower the rates. But annual percentage rate or APR is the important thing to look for when calculating the total loan cost. Down payments are important feature which affects the other loan features. If the down payment is big, the interest rate is low and the loan term is long. Long term loans have low interest rate than the short term loans. a good credit scorer can get the loans with lower interest rate comparing to a bad credit scorer, whose interest rates will be little higher. Secured loans are low in interest rates and extended loan term than the unsecured loans.

Auto loans are generally secured with the car itself. Many lenders also take other assets as the collateral against the loan amount. The borrowers can get these auto loan rates online and by visiting the lender’s offices. These days online mode is more convenient.

Auto Loans Rates – Buy the Car at Lowest Rate

Filed under: Loans — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — @ 9:12 pm
Mark Nikolos asked:


Nowadays people don’t live just for satisfaction. There is something called society. You have to maintain your position in the society and having a brand new car is an essential element to do so. But sometimes we don’t have enough financial back up to do it that much easily. And the only option left to do so is to go for taking external monetary support from market. If you are also thinking the same to do then auto loans rates should be your first stop.

These loans are normally given to the borrower as secured types of loans. Generally lender asks to put the car it self as a security against the loan. But if you do not want to do so then you can also pledge any of your valuable properties as collateral. Placing security not only keeps the lender at safe side but also brings you a number of benefits and the most obvious among them is reduction in interest rate.

These loans can be taken in two forms – short term auto loans or long term ones. Both have its’ own advantages and disadvantages. In case of short term ones the money borrowed must be paid back within a short time period of 3 to 5 years and interest rate charged will high. But with long term you will get relaxed interest rate and repayment tenure will also be long here.

All UK citizens are eligible to apply for auto loans rates. The only thing they must have is regular source of income. A down payment has to be paid against the loaned amount. If you are ready to pay large down payment then you will get reduction in rates. With the increasing popularity among customers lenders are coming forward with new schemes daily. They are now ready to provide the financing to bad credit holders also.

Where can I refinance my auto loan?

Filed under: Buying & Selling — Tags: , , , , , , , , — @ 2:14 am
xyz asked:


My payoff is $6100 and my ’98 Tacoma has ~130,000 miles on it. I can’t find anyone who will refinance an older vehicle and the ones that will refinance less then $7500. I had bad credit when I bought this and have a 25% interest rate. Now I have great credit and am looking to lower my payment by getting a 10% or less interest rate.
Why, because I had bad credit and that was the only credit extended to me & the only option to improve my credit. score was low 500′s now it’s mid 700′s. I would have paid a couple of grand just to increase my score 200 points but unfortunatly it does not work that way. The amount I owe is about blue book value.

Auto Loans Rates: Easiest Way To Select Cheap Auto Loan Rates

Filed under: Loans — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — @ 7:12 pm
Carney Alden asked:


If you intend to purchase any automobile it becomes little tough to pay full cost of the auto at the time of purchase from own savings. At time, people have to postpone their decision to buy a car due to full payment, which is at time more than one’s savings. Also, if you intend to borrow auto loan to purchase a car and unknowingly borrowed any auto loan with high rates, its amount of monthly installment would be high which would ultimately affect your budget and in end will be the reason of very bad credit score. Therefore, it is very essential while looking for auto loan to choose the auto loan which has cheap rates which would be easier to pay and successfully close the loan.

To choose a loan that exactly suits your needs, the best method is to go online and search for the right auto loan terms of different lenders. This is because the auto loans rates vary from lender to lender and also among different schemes of same lender. You can ask for a quotation or you can also use the free loan calculator available on most of the lenders’ websites.

The loan rates depend on the following factors:

1. Amount of Loan: This excludes any upfront payment you are willing to make. In case of 100 per cent finance, the interest rate is the highest.

2. Duration of the loan: When you take a short term loan, the interest is applied to the loan amount and then is distributed into equal parts. As the number of parts is less, you get to pay higher installments but then you save on the interest. In contrast, a higher rate of interest is applied to longer period. The advantage is that though the interest rate is high, you get to pay lower amount as installment.

3. Secured or unsecured loans: Auto loan rates are less for the secured loans as you place some collateral. For unsecured loans, the rates are a bit higher than that of secured loans. For unsecured loans, you do not place any collateral as such.

Overall, to select any auto loan with cheap rate is to be careful in the beginning itself while looking for the loan. A little effort to compare auto loan terms of different lenders will have you severe headache later on. Also, with a cheap loan rate, you can save a lot of money over the period.
