Approved on my first ever car loan!!

Just wanted to share my auto loan approval info and give hope to those out there with thin credit files. I've only had credit for 3 years and never had an auto loan before but have no baddies on my report.

Name of financer: hyundai motor finance
Score used by dealer: 736 fico
Interest rate: 3.9%
Term: 72 months
Amount financed: $18,000.00
Money down: $500 (trade in from old vehicle)
Vehicle bought: new 2013 hyundai elantra
Never had an auto loan before so I was surprised they approved me at this interest rate no cosigner. I make $38000.00 annually but have only been employed by this employer for 7 months due to a state move (fl to va). My monthly payment with gap is $292.00 which I'm super happy about. All in all I'm extremely happy with my car and even happier I was approved at such a good rate for first time buyer. Smiley Happy
