Talk to a credit union regarding their loan process (if they have one) for "collectibles cars"

Your best bet is to talk to local credit union. Be prepare that most lenders will refuse to finance car that is 10+ years old. You may end up putting it on personal loan instead.

Try a credit union. We financed a 98 Ford Expedition last year and got a decent rate with a credit union. It's a 30 month loan.

Re: Financing a 1999 M3

Im having a hard time finding dealers with the car i want...

 

My friend owns the exact car i want Black/Black 1993 M3 with lowish miles in MINT condition...he rides his motorcylce almost exclusively now and said he would sell it for $8500 to me if was interested...

 

Is there any suggestions for getting a loan for a private party transaction or is it only likely to be approved through a dealership? Do banks like Wells Fargo even do private party loans, especially for older cars?

 

My scores are in the Mid 600's but i have about 50-60% utilization which would certainly be paid down to at least 30% or so before i applied for anything...

 

I have about 3 years without any late payments and have aquired good new lines of credit since then (AMEX GREEN, CHASE FREEDOM, BARCLAYS, etc)....
