Applying for auto loan... what are my chances?

So I was considering applying for an auto loan through Capital one blank check, (since I'm already banking with Capital One) or either DCU or Silver State Credit Union.

 

I'm hoping to get around $20-25K auto loan.

 

My credit score is 705 Experian

Capital One Quicksilver $2300 CL

Amex Everyday $1,000 CL

Fingerhut $700 CL

Merrick Bank $200 CL

Yearly income is $95,000 I sell on Amazon & eBay.

 

Around 25% UTI and no baddies or late payments or derogatory remarks of any kind on my credit report.

 

Let me know your guys thoughts and suggestions!

 

Thanks

Is this your 1st auto loan?  If so, you'll probably still be approved for that amount, but you could encounter some issues.  Do you have tax returns that can verify your income?

This is my first loan and yes I think I do have tax returns, but if I don't I'll probably be denied huh?

If going through a CU or bank, most likely yes.  I hardly ever recommend going to a dealership without a preapproval, but that is your best bet, they might not verify income.

Keep in mind that if you go with Capital One, you are not free to shop wherever you want, you have to go to one of the dealers in their network. I researched this a couple of months ago, and I did not like any of the dealerships that worked with Capital One, prices were high in my opinion. I would also stay away from Carmax as their prices are extremely high in my opinion. I am not sure if DCU and Silver State make you stay in a network or not.

 

If you are worried about income verification, you probably would be best to go directly to a dealer.  What is seldom mentioned on here is that when you go the dealer financing route, you are free to shop at any dealer you want, meaning that you will save money on the actual vehicle even if you get a higher interest rate. Example, go to Capital One and get 3% rate, but you cannot find the vehicle that you want on any of the lots in Capital One's network for less than 25k. You may get a 5% rate from a random dealer of your choice, but may find the vehicle that you want for 17k. There is no doubt that some people will disregard my argument, but I really like the freedom to buy from who I want to. The more choices that you have the better.
