Auto Loans For People With Good and Bad Credit

Buying a car is both exciting and frustrating! Make sure you do your research before
you sign anything! Each time I've gone in to purchase a car I've felt anxious and elated over the thought of getting into a new car. My first car purchase my dealer took me for everything I was worth. On my 2nd and 3rd car purchases I did my research, had my loan approved before I walked into the dealership, walked in with lots of papers (that I would shuffle around and not let them look at it LOL) and a good friend would go with me as my "lets get up and walk" buddy. Do you research, know how much you can spend, and stick to your guns. Also always remember YOU CAN ALWAYS WALK AWAY! A good friend of mine usually ends up going into the car dealership 3 or 4 times over a month constantly negotiating and always reminding the dealer that the car he wants is still on the lot costing the dealer money, wouldn't it be better for the dealer just to sell him the car? He loves it. Most of us can't deal with that kind of stress, but he does get some AMAZING deals. Don't let yourself get pressured into a sale, take a friend if need be and exercise your right to walk!

Leasing a car can be a great way to drive a high end car for 3 - 5years. At the end of the lease term you have to return the vehicle. Lease terms can be very generous, and put you in a luxury vehicle for less than $600 a month, but be warned leased vehicles often have a set number of miles that you can drive during your lease term. If you go over those miles you are charged PER MILE over your allotted amount.

Car Buying Tips

  • Don't let your credit report surprise you!What does your credit report say about you? Before you apply for ANY type of financing you should make sure you have looked at all 3 credit reports & fixed any errors you find click here to see all 3 credit reports and your scores
  • Know the value of your trade inIf you are trading in a car research what is worth on Kelly Blue Book don't expect a fair price from a dealer. Know what your car is worth BEFORE you trade it in.
  • Negotiate your trade in seperately. I like to act like I have no trade in so I negotiate the cost of the car first. Then I say, well, what would you give me for this car.... I know what the blue book value is already and I've already negortiated my best deal on the new car. Lots of dealerships pretty much steal the value of your trade in by not negotiating the new car price as low as they could go.
  • Get Pre-approved Before you walk into the dealership make sure you have a car loan approval - that way you know how much you can spend and what your monthly payment will be
  • Don't be a payment shopper Don't let a car dealership sell you a car based on its monthly payment. Any good salesman can easily make that car fit any payment you want. Negotiate only the price of the car and your trade in - by having a car loan pre approved you already know what your monthly payment is and what the interest rate is. Avoid this BIG mistake at all cost!
  • Hold Your Cards Close To Your Chest Don't tell the dealership you have been preapproved for a loan until AFTER you have negotiated your best deal for the car. Many dealerships make hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on the financing of your car. If they know up front that they won't be making money on the financing they are less likely to give you as good a deal as you deserve!
  • Watch your wallent when you go into their finance room! Thats real the real money is made for the dealership. From the interst rate to the useless warranties, the finance guy's job is to tack on as many extras as they possibly can. This is where having your own pre approved auto loan comes in handy.
  • Keep A Level Head Don't get caught up in the excitement of buying your new car. If need be take a break, just like your salesperson who keeps going back and forth talking to their manager, you should get up from time to time for coffee or smoke break. The dealer will try to keep you on property but walk out and clear your head. When / if you come back the dealer will be very eager to close the deal quickly (for fear of your walking out and NOT coming back
  • Are you upside down on your current car loanBe aware of the true cost of rolling an existing loan into your new car loan. Keep in mind if you are buying a new $30,000 car and still owe $7,000 on your old car you are effectively agreeing to pay them $37,000 for a car that is only worth $30,000 and the moment you drive off the lot its probably only worth $25,000! By rolling the old loan into the new loan, you are now effectively $12,000 upside down!
  • Get it in writing!Make sure you have all loan approvals and car pricing negotiations in writing! Some dealers have been known to approve an applicants loan and let them drive off the lot. A few days later they call the applicant and say the bank didn't approve the loan. At that point they tell you all is not lost! They have another lender ready to approve you, but that 4% interest rate they promised you is now closer to 13%. They know most people will come in and just sign for the new loan, they love their new car & all their friends have now seen them in their new ride. It would be embarrassing to have to return the car. Don't be that sort of buyer. Make sure you are approved by an outside lender along with/ the dealer so you have your own back up plan. Don't be afraid to return the vehicle and don't let them high pressure sales you into either keeping that car or moving you into a cheaper not as nicely equipped car.
