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! =)

How To Get The Best Auto Loan Rates

Hector Milla asked:


Are you ready to purchase a new car but cannot find the lowest interest rate on the auto loan?

We are going through a severe economic crisis and it is very important that we get the best deals for car loans. While searching for auto loans, you have to study financing companies and negotiate their terms in order to get the lowest possible rates.

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

“…You obviously cannot find the best auto loan rate if you do not do your homework on several companies and their terms and conditions. You have to request for quotes and compare different companies so as to find out which one offers the lowest rate…”

Internet provides you a great opportunity to compare these companies. There are many websites of online auto loan brokers that will send you their financing offers. On some other websites, you can actually compare the quotes. These auto loan brokers put a lot of effort in attracting customers so you can negotiate the rates of the companies and get a better deal. Make sure you give accurate information about yourself because a minute difference in the income and employment information can reduce the interest rate.

After getting general information about the companies, their policies and rates, you should try to negotiate terms in order to balance the interest rate of your loan. It has been observed that shorter loans require high payment on monthly basis but they offer lower rates. Keeping in mind your monthly budget, apply for an auto loan that suites your particular situation.

“…Even though car buyers have the option of putting small down payment and even zero down payment, it will save you a lot of money if you put down a larger amount. You can increase your down payment by 20% in order to qualify for lower interest rates. Demand for better rates from your dealership because if you are a pre-qualified buyer, there is a good chance the salespeople will consider you a cash buyer and you will be able to get better results…” added H. Milla.
