I just pulled my yearly credit report and my score is 648. A year ago I think it was 540, so it’s jumped up quite a bit. I’m considering getting a newer used car (Mini Cooper or VW Bug) next spring once I have enough saved up for a small down payment.

I’m curious as to what kind of an interest rate I might be looking at and how much of a loan I could receive. Granted I’d rather get a new car, but getting a loan on a $19,000 car with mediocre credit probably isn’t the smartest bet. 
This will be my first car and I want something that’ll last me for a bit.
