So excited, trying to buy a car (first time buyer) and I've been doing a lot of research trying to find the best place for a 72 month loan. Applied with US Bank and was rejected as a first time buyer, and a credit union offered me Tier 2 of 4.2%. Decided to bite the bullet and try BoA as a last ditch effort, and was just instantly approved online at 2.6% for 72 months! They called me to verify and I said I would rather have the best advertised rate after seeing my Equifax score they pulled (774). She said no problem and lowered it to 2.39. Approved for $25,000, but she said I could go over if I want (unlikely).
Yay!
Starting Score: 583 (CreditKarma, 2009)

Income is figured into your debt to income ratio. Lets say Sally makes $90K/annually butt her debts are extremely high so she has no disposable income to take on a new car payment. Or Bob who makes $30K but has no debts, lenders will favor him over Sally. Hope this helps.
Thanks! So I make 50K per year and debts are $500 per month if that helps.
