Re: Odds of auto loan with 1.25 years credit history?

I would steer clear of Auto Credit Express. It is a lead generating company for dealerships. They do not pre-approve you, they simply sell your credit information to a dealership and the dealership will then pull your credit and have authorization to submit your credit to any lender they have, often generating ton's of inquiries.

Thanks for the wonderful info guys.

Yes i pay the full 1400 rent.
I live comfortably as is. Are you saying its hard for them to approve me with 44% going to rent? I do have plans to switch careers or move to a cheaper area but my wife loves it here.

5k+ CLs: Chase Amazon, Cap1 QS1,
10k+ CLs: BofA Cash Rewards, Amex Cash Magnet, Citi DC, Barclays Uber, Citi Premier, Chase Saphire Preff,Cap1 Savor1

My understanding is that yes, that could be one of the reasons you're being passed up. Ideally, lenders want to see a Debt to Income ratio of 36% or less. Your scores are pretty good, and you have several cards with a high CL. But the low income combined with your higher rent obligation is a negative in their eyes. My rent is $1600, but I split it with my fiance, so my obligation is $800. With my income, that means my DTI was only 15% when I applied, which I think helped greatly in my case because I only have EXP reporting and 2 credit cards with low limits (which I PIF every month) at the time I applied . I think you said you are a member of two credit unions? Maybe you can talk to them about your case to see what they say and if they'll work with you...especially since you're an existing customer.

 

*Edit - I'm assuming the income you posted is before taxes. DTI is calculated on your gross income.
