Auto Loan Approvals!

[knowledge1213]

My Credit score was 609 Equifax Autoscored with a dismissed Chapter 13 in April of 2018 ( filed but did not go through with it; however, still shows on credit report). Perfect payment history on current auto loan for two years. Of course, I was being turned down because of Chapter 13 on the report - I was able to speak with the credit analyst at American Honda ( Finance Manager called and I spoke on my behalf) and explained the situation and asked that she look at the car credit ( two paid auto loans in the past). American Honda approved, but at 17.5% - which I will refinance once my credit improves. The car is a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 ( 6-speed) - the loan was done at $29,200.00

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Sticker price was $31,200. We ended up agreeing on $29,393. $0 Down payment and after GAP insurance, TTL total came to $33,196. I was surprised that we were able to qualify for the tier 1 financing at 2.9% for 60 months. I thought that my credit score wasn't high enough for tier 1.

Congrats! I applied to 3 credit unions for my loan and got rates ranging from 2.99 to 6.1, my car is preowned though. Interesting how different lenders rate the same scores.

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: This was my first time financing a car, so it was exciting, but somewhat nerve-wracking. Got $800 in lease rebates. Probably could have put less money down, but not too bothered by it.

I have a clean credit history, but my oldest account is only 4 years 10 mos, with an AAoA of 2 ½ years. Credit card utilization at 9%. 2 installment loans with fairly low balances (federal direct student loans). Obviously, I don’t have a very big income.

Overall, I absolutely love the car and feel good about the experience. This is also my first forum post!

Congratulations on your new car, thanks for posting! 🤗

S55AMG....All I see on the DFCU Site is a 4.24% for 72 months. How did you qualify for 2.99%?

I'm searching for an Auto Loan for a '15 M6. Would love to get a 2.99% loan.

Thanks!

I am not sure to be honest.  I received an email stating my loan application had been approved, I called them and they stated the loan rate was approved for 3.49%, but could save .5% if I established direct deposit and set the payment on auto pay.... which I chose to do.
