I have four unsecured credit cards I got a Chase Slate 1500 credit limit, Discover it card 1500 credit limit, Best Buy Credit Card $2200 Limit, Amazon Credit Limit of $2100. I also have credit with PayPal for $500 and I still have first credit with Capital One of $500. But I am still not getting into a used car loan, I make $9.98 and hour and I bring home $623 every two weeks My credit score is around 680 to 710, I have 25 credit inquires on credit report I dont know if thats a problem or not most of the inquires come from applying for auto loans.
Is this your first vehicle loan?
You give an hourly rate for your income but you don't give the # of hours you work weekly. What is your gross pay per month? How long have you been working at your job?
Who have you applied to for a loan? What did their written denial say?
My gross is $1596.0, yes this is my first vehicle loan. I work for the city of Montgomery, I quit last December but I just started back to work for them in April I was with the city from 2013 to 2014 the first time.
It said to many iquiries and no installment loan history, But I had borrow a $1000 secured loan from the credit union I am a member of. My local dealerships says I dont make enough money.
What dealership says you don't make enough?
It's much easier to get a new car, used car sales don't help dealerships get bonuses from OEM's.
How much do you have to put down? It doesn't have to be much, $500-$1000 should be enough.
Have you tried Capital One, DCU or Hughes' First Time Buyer Program? Hughes' program requires 15% down however.
You should be able to get a car loan for $20,000 or less. Ford also has a FIrst Time buyer program.
The local Dodge and Chevy dealership.
I would go with Ford, they are much easier to get a car loan with than Chrysler and GM. I also read in books that Ford has easier financing than the others.
I might try outside my city. I will also kept saving my downpayment.
Since you have good FICO scores, i strongly recommend going for a BRAND NEW CAR.
Since you already have 23+ inquiries adding another 6-8 to it within a short period is not so bad.unless you have aspirations of getting more credit.
I bought a brand new 2015 chevy equinox LS with nearly your scores and $20k financing at 3.99% for 72mos. I was adamant that my income was all commissions only and that i showed him my 655 TU Fico Auto Score and told him i have been in business many many years and that i want you to not apply with captive lender GM financial but find a bank or credit union and use only one bureau. 15 minutes later he found 3.99% for 72 mos. No biggie.
they care that you are HAPPY CUSTOMER and HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS TO SAYING" we did all we could to put you in a brand new car.?"
its just not the same with a USED CAR .
Apply with DCU.... I am positive with your high EQ scores you'll get enough to get the car you want and have a low interest rate. Only captives would beat it and it's up to you if you want to take it.
