I don't see it in your initial post but what is the cost of the car you are looking to finance?

Need to know your debt to income ratio.  Do you have rent or mortgage?  DTI is not just credit, but also your rent or mortgage paymnent in relation to your income.

Current FICO 743, no baddies
April '16 550 4 collections

Current credit and limits (in order of approval)
Discover It (Unsecured at 6 mos) 4.6k -- Cap 1 Quicksilver One (900) -- Overstock (3800) -- NFCU Cash Rewards (25k) -- Share Secured Installment (500 - paid down to 40ish) -- Amex PRG (NPSL) -- Amex BCP (25k) -- Amex EDP (15k) -- Citi Advantage (10k)

I do not pay rent. My phone bill is $150 and internet $50. And my quicksilver payment is $75 at the moment. Besides that I don't have any bills more than $25.

I would work with a credit union.  That One Main account is going to be your biggest barrier, if you could negotiate that debts with the collectors you would be better off.  Open collections like that are pretty big red flags.    A dealer will likely get you a loan but the interest will be high so trying a credit union first is going to be worth the effort.

Re: Do I qualify for auto loan

I think you would get approved at higher interest rate...probably around 21% with $1k down for a $12k car... do you currently have previous auto loans? If not then it will be a bit tough but doable with a higher interest rate. 

 

Auto loan lenders wnat to see how well you pay your car payments, not much more emphasis is placed on other loans. With no other auto loans on your reports then they feel that they are taking a bigger risk. Refinance after about year once you got some auto credit under your belt. 

 

Example, my friend who works for one of the largest BMW dealers in the nation sees guys who come in with a score in the high 500s and get Tier II approval because they do pay their car payments on time and not much else..
