I think you would have a better chance at getting approved for a lower amount.

You'll be approved. My credit scores are below and 2 days ago, I was approved for an amount in that range. Not sure what will happen rate wise though.

You seem to be in the range that Ford Credit would accept. I am not sure if you are looking to buy a Ford though.

Oddly enough, I just financed my new Mazda3 (Tuesday) through Ford Credit.

From Yahoo answers:Mazda is not wholly owned by Ford, but Ford is probably the biggest share holder, therefore there is alot of sharing of parts such as new 2.3 L engine is Mazda design, (Ranger and focus) Ranger trucks use mazda trannies I think, Ford helped mazda out when they were falling behind in early 90s. Ford's new car is based loosely on Mazda 6, etc... Ford did / does plant sharing here is USA. Probe and MX6, Ranger B-series, Escape Tribute.

So there you have it.

No problems at all!!!!!!!! Not that I'm suggesting it, but you could qualify for A LOT more.........

But take the route you have planned for your new car!
