In the third year of our chapter 13. Our old lease is due back in a month and we got permission to shop for a new car lease from the trustee..scores are all around in the 620's fico. We wanted to see other people's experiences and approvals
@Anonymous, I think a lot depends upon any financial constraints your Trustee put on you. I have also heard some Trustee's keep a list of dealership finance departments in their area which are Chapter 13 friendly; I would definitely ask about that.
Chapter 13:
I categorically refuse to do AZEO!








She gave us 39 months @$565 per month...nothing above that
I cant see you getting approved for any lease let alone a loan for less than 10% interest. Leases are notoriously harder to get approved for than loans. You will be very lucky to get an approval at all on a lease with an open 13 even with the trustee letter. Dont kill your credit trying either. Penfed will approve you for an auto loan in a open 13 if you are good otherwise. Low DTI and decent credit otherwise aside from the BK. I would forget the lease. You are going to pick up a ton of inqs while shopping around trying to find a dealer captive lender that will lease.
Ok thank you for that info, I was completely thinking the opposite

What about carvana?
With car prices so ridiculous , you might want to buy your car If you still like it. Also, Carvana would likely be higher interest rates and I'm not sure about their bk policy.

Nope they won't touch you with an open 13.
I was able to get a new car loan with Penfed a couple of months ago @ 6%. Very easy process! I'm currently in 13 with 2 more payments left.
Carvana absolutely will "touch you" in an open 13, but they require a trustee letter. I was preapproved with them with my open 13. The rate was 8.75-11.75 depending on the car.

I tried and was denied because of my open 13. They didn't even ask for a letter. I guess it's a YMMV with them.
