The first step to learning how car financing works is to know what you’ll need when applying for a new or used car loan through the dealership, a bank, or even a credit union. Most applications can be started online, or you can apply at the dealership in person. Factors that the lender will look at include:
If you have a low score or bad credit, a car loan might still be an option at the dealership. Consider asking a close friend or family member to cosign your loan. Another option is leasing. You’re more likely to get approved for a lease with bad credit, although the payments will be higher than if you had good credit history.
If approved for a loan, there may be a few options for you to choose from when it comes to lenders. Some dealerships offer in-house financing. And if you have bad credit, this may seem like your only option; however, you can also compare this offer to that from a bank or credit union to see which makes the most sense for your needs and budget. Before this, you’ll want to keep in mind how much money you can put down as well as how much you can afford in terms of monthly payments. You can even use our online payment calculator to estimate these payments.
Before finalizing your loan and buying a car, you may need to negotiate on price. If this is the case, you and the salesperson can go back and forth until you settle on a loan with an interest rate that works for you. Once you settle on a price, be sure to look over additional loan agreements, and then you can finalize the loan terms and close the deal. After the paperwork is signed, you can drive off in your next RAM or Jeep vehicle.
