Highest possible loan approval amount with 565 FICO?

Wondering if a $20,000 auto loan is possible with a FICO score of 565? I've been on my job for 6 years, and I make over 75K per year with a really low debt to income ratio. I know credit "beggars" cant be picky, but I want a nice used luxury car, not a Kia or Hyundai......

It is possible.....do you have some cash for the DP? If, when you are approved it will be a very HIGH APR. IMO I would buy a clunker for cash and hold out for 6mos to a year before trying to finance something. The APR that you are going to pay would almost pay for a cheap (get me by) vehicle.

Build your credit up for the next two years, then buy the car of your choice.  I was approved by Wells Fargo Dealer Services for $11,000.00 loan with a 598 TU score, $2000.00 down, 11.9% APR, about 1.5 years ago.  My current loan now was through them for $24,000.00, $19,000.00 down, 4.14% APR.  At the time last June, my TU FICO was 639.

Current Score: 753 TU, 764 EQ, 766 EX on 02/17/2014
Goal Score: 720-740 Across the board

Yes on the DP. I was thinking $2-3K down payment, 20 K loan for 72 mos..

That isnt bad. I thought your APR would have been higher through Wells Fargo.

This is my third in a row auto loan through them.  First was 11.9%, second was 9.9%, and my current is 4.14%.  Granted, all these loans were within a 16 month window........ My credit score also improved as I went along.
