MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: My very first auto loan! I'm very excited, I was going to buy new, but this one had everything pretty much every available option and was obviously cheaper than brand spanking new. Only put 2k down. Financed for 72 months so I have the option of a lower payment, but I plan on nearly doubling the payments every month. The dealer offered me 5% through Chase, which I was surprised by since I've never had an auto loan and they absolutely refuse to give me a credit card lol.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

Don't give up hope; I tried and I managed to get a new car loan without any real difficulty.

 

APPROVING BANK: Capital One Auto & Wells Fargo
BUREAU PULLED: Transunion
CREDIT SCORE: 616
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE: NJ
NEW/USED: New
YEAR OF VEHICLE: 2014
MAKE: Hyundai
MODEL: Accent
MILEAGE: 15
RETAIL/LEASE: Retail
AMOUNT OF LOAN: 15,111.00
TERM CONTRACTED: 3 years
APR/LEASE RATE: 6.84 Capital One - 5.99 Wells Fargo
MONTHLY PAYMENT: $462
ANNUAL INCOME: $117K
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO:
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Applied for Capital One via website and was approved for up to $18K new car loan at 6.84% for 36 months; was very qucik and easy. Took the 'Blank Check' to the dealership, made a good deal on the commuter car we wanted, they looked for further financing (of course; it's what they live for in Finance), but willing to do the Capital One financing if we chose that. It was a benefit to have the Capital One finance offer prior to buying; finance dept got offers for us but they weren't even close to the Cap One offer (some up to 12.99% AND $499 fee!). He told them continually we had a much better rate, with no fee, and they had to do better, or Cap One got it. Wells went down to that 5.99%, and dropped the fee too. We were required to put nothing down. Financing would be up to 110% LTVR.

I'm satisfied with the rates I was offered, considering my credit was damaged due to one adult child of mine who defaulted on a Student Loan I cosigned (adult child is now repairing the loan/default but it takes time to work the negative off of my credit score/report, too).  I would have loved a 2% rate but that's not at all realistic with the damage to my credit.

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY:I purchased this car last year in August '13. The person at my credit union was very helpful and sympathetic in helping me. He understood that I need a car for school, understood that I was working part time while taking classes and my score was low due to two hospital bills from the year before going into collections. He initially only approved me for 13K but once I found my dream car, the Elantra, I needed extra for the taxes and fees and he kindly increased it to 15K plus $280 for the loan fees. They were very nice, he even opened up a credit card for me to help me build me credit. In October, I can go back and refinace for a lower rate since my credit score has gone up. Suncoast is amazing!

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

Hooray! Was approved today to refinance my auto loan!

 

I am a first time commenter, but have been reading the forums for a while now for advice on improving my credit.

 

HUGE Thanks to the MyFico community! I noticed DCU showing up in a lot of the auto loan threads and decided to apply with them to refinance my auto loan and went from paying $318.00 per month to $277.00!
