Auto loan approval question...

60% downpayment on a $22K car

5% utilization and 1.5 year of on time payments (2 credit cards)

Scores 550s to low 600s , 2-3 Collection and couple of 90day lates from 1.5 ago...

 

What are my chances?

I think with a downpayment of 60% you won't have any trouble getting approved.   Not sure what interest rate they'll throw at you though.

 

Do you have any previous auto loan history ?

60% down?  Guarunteed.  I have a worse report / score than you do, and I threw 30% and had no issue.  Interest rate /shrug, get the loan, keep your payments on time and as your derogatory marks age further, it won't be a trouble refinancing if you so desire in the future... especially since you're going to be laughably in the black on the car from a loan to value perspective.

With a 60% DP, don't be surprised if they don't just throw you into the car and push it out of the lot themselves.

 

The APR is a different story.

You won't have a problem, I suggest applying with a lender that you already have a banking relationship with, as they will be more likely to extend you credit on good terms.
