Re: Easy to get car loan

Chrysler Capital and Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp are typically the easiest new-car captive lenders to get approved with. Of course if your scores are average and your debt to income isn't an issue, probably wouldn't have problems with most captive lenders (I.e. GM Financial, Toyota, Ford accredit, etc)

Current Score 7-1-21: TU: 812 EX: 805 EQ: 839
Goal Score:ACHIEVED - 800 Across the Board
In My Wallet: Cap1 QS - PenFed Power Cash Rewards - PenFed Promise - AmEx Delta Platinum - DISCO - NFCU Cash Rewards - Chase Sapphire Preferred

What are your average scores? Even for BMW Financial for example, their tier one is 675+.

Re: Easy to get car loan

My scores are around 660 now. I am paying off large amount on my credit cards and installment loans and hopefully my score should go up again in the next few weeks. Most likely, I'll be looking for a nice used car though.

Re: Easy to get car loan

They are all easy to get with decent scores but the intrest can vary a great deal based on dealers arranging finacing and marking interest up and how each lender views you as a customer.  I am a strong proponent of working with a credit union to get preapproved financing before you walk into any dealer.  Credit unions consistantly provide the best rates, of course there are circumstances where factories sponsor special rates but since your shopping for a used car that generally won't apply, BMW does occasionally offer special rates on CPO cars so it isn't impossible to get a special rate.  Applying with DCU, Penfed or NFCU couldn't be easier they approve you send you a check fedex and your done.  Don't pay that installment loan totally off before you apply because doing so will likely result in a small decrease in scores for lack of a installment loan.  

 

Dealers will always find you a loan but like I said above are in the habit of adding a point or two on top of the interest the lender is charging to add to their profit.  They sure make it easy but you can pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars more over the life of the loan so you pay for that service.

If you qualify for membership, I got a great deal from Alliant: $16k loan at 2.99% APR for 60 months with a 674 Equifax score.
