Navy Fed Auto Loan

New to the forum. I would appreciate any and all input. My husband and I just joined NFCU. We are looking to purchase a car in a couple of months. My question is my credit score is 731 but I am on disability which is about 19k a year. My husband has a credit score of about 550 and his income is 55k a year. Looking to purchase a used car for about 12k. I have 2 credit cards with a total balance of 2200.00. Should have the balance down to 1000.00 by the time of the car purchase. Could we use household income or should I try to swing it myself.

Re: Navy Fed Auto Loan

Your scenerio is very similar to mine.  I wanted to refinance my vehicle loans with NFCU and was told we would need to have a joint account.  They would also use both our income and his scores Smiley Sad  I own both vehicle loans solo because my scores were higher and I was allowed to combine income w/o him.   Have you checked with CapOne Auto Navigator?  You could see what you prequal using all household income.   We would qualify for lower rates with NFCU but I don't think the credit pull is worth it to save $40 a month. 

I called NFCU and spoke with someone that gave me a lot of good info. that helped me make my final decision. 

 

Good Luck with your auto purchase!

You will want to use the household income.  They will help you out for sure.

Re: Navy Fed Auto Loan

Uhh... What?!?!

 

$40 p/month over the course of a five year loan = $2400

$40 p/month over the course of a six year loan = $2880

 

I disagree with your analysis. An HP is absolutely, positively worth saving that kind of money. In my opinion, an HP would be worth it at a fraction of that.

Re: Navy Fed Auto Loan

As stated above a HP is well worth $40 a month, the impact of an HP is temporary, just a few months.  $40 a month for 6 years is real money flushed down the drain.  Heck I refinanced my car twice in a week because I could save interest.
