No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Just remember also some of those cards have the AF upfront. If you do decide to close them, make sure all fees are paid and nothing comes back to haunt you later.

Well first off, you should never buy a car with $0 down. You will instantly have negative equity in the vehicle. Save up a huge down payment and get the shortest loan term you can afford.
Sub-prime is a class of borrowers that banks treat as unworthy of credit at a the going "prime" rate*. For example, a prime borrower may get a car loan at 4.9% while a sub-prime borrower with the same income may get the car at 14.9%.
*currently 3.25% a figured obtained by looking at the going rate for 30 year home loans to people with "prime" credit

If you can cancel them and avoid the fees that would be good

How long you been on credit history for and was that card cap 1 and hows that your only card . I know my credit is gonna take a while for me to be ok again
My first card was the US Bank college card. I got that mid-2011 with a $300 limit, then got it raised before it's 6 month point to $2500. Since then I have moved the available credit on it around, and that is why it is at $1500 now.
I got the capital one card 02/12
Your credit will heal fast. Inquires don't have much effect after 6 months, then after a year they have no effect

Annual fee is the amount the bank charges you each year to have the card.

I am gonna close my express cause low limt and credit one and first bank but Is that bad on my credit report ?
No, closing cards is not bad for your report. Just be sure to pay your accounts in full every month. Make sure that you either get refunded any fee's that the banks charge you, or make sure you pay them. Make sure the fees get tended to so they don't get reported as delinquent.
