Re: Used Car Out Of State Financing.

We need more info?  What is the reasoning behind going there to look at the car?  Out of state financing is possible for sure, but unless this is a very rare car why wold you do it?  Also, what other credit accoutns do you or have you had.  your scores are great, but they may just reflect a small amount of credit with relatively short history.  If you have not had a previous car loan or major finance purchase (i.e mortgage) you will have probelms getting a loan for that large of an amount.  Also, they will probably want 20% down (of the market value of the car) not 20% of the total cost with all the extras financed in.

Re: Used Car Out Of State Financing.

I dunno about the credit aspects so will let others answer that part.  Do be aware that if the sales tax in the State where it will be purchased is lower than the sales tax in the State where it will be registered, they will probably require the difference in sales tax be paid upon registration.  Of course they do this to discourage people getting cars in other States where the tax is lower.  In many States this is actually required by law for all purchases, but enforcing such laws for small purchases is nearly impossible.  They can and do enforce this for cars because those have to be registered.

Re: Used Car Out Of State Financing.

It does look like you have great credit, just no large purchases.

 

Waht type of car is this.  There are not that many cars made in the last 4 years that are rare or valuable enough to go out of state to find one (unless you are looking for a specific options/color combo)

 

Here is the thing that would concern me and truly no offense meant.  I just want to point out something.

You have great credit and a good solid income which is awesome for someone who is 23.  You are way ahead of where I was at that point for sure.  My only concern is taking on a 25K loan on a used car (which will be higher interest rate for what is basically a 4 year old car) for someone else.

 

Say in a year you need to buy yourself a new car...

 

Then 2 more years down the road you want to get a house...

 

Now even at your solid income (depending upon the other credit factors and price of stuff) you are running into DTI issues due to the other accounts.

 

I love my mom and would do about anything for her, but in my mind, if she could not qualify on her own for a car loan, I would not buy it for her (even if I was going to make the payments) for this exact reason.  It can mess you up down the road credit wise by tying up credit resources.  Personally I would have her get the loan and if I felt like paying it, I would take over the paymetns on it for her as my gift to her...)  $500 per month is alot to tie yourself into if you have any plans for a mortgage in the next 4-5 years (you may not though).  I also want to state that I live in So Cal where cost of living is high so 85K income doesn't mean as much as alot of places...But out here, you would be hard pressed to qualify for 2 car payments and a house on 85K.  Even 1 car payment and any other bills would make it tight.

 

Anyways, just make sure that the car you are looking at is really worht that much hassle, and that this is a deal that you are comfortbale with for the next 4-5 years (however long you finance it)

Re: Used Car Out Of State Financing.

You've probably done your research as far as looking for the perfect car, just my opinion, i think thats a little high for a 05 BMW X5, with 42k miles. Did you find this on autotrader.com?
Rebuilding and Reducing Debt, is my game plan.

You might get lucky, but I think 6% for a 4.5 year old car is tough.  I am not sure how BMW financing is though so maybe BMW does good deals on their own used cars.  A credit union might be able to get fairly low as well, but under 6% on a used car is a great rate in this market.

PenFed Credit Union is offering as low as 3.99 on used cars.  Alliant Credit Union offered me 4.6% on used or refi.  100% financing up to book value.
