Options if You Have Bad Credit For A Car Loan

What can you do if you have bad credit for a car loan? Simply put, there are a few different options you have no matter how bad your credit is – even if you have already been turned down by your bank or credit union for a loan.

In this post we will discuss two of these options: getting a co-signer to help by signing with you on your loan, and finding a bad credit auto lender who specializes in such loans. Remember, however, that there is always a need to both monitor and work on fixing your credit if you are in this situation, and you should probably take this opportunity to do so.

First option – finding a co-signer. This is probably the most common way for people who either don’t have credit or who have bad credit to get a car loan, with a good rate and terms, from a bank or a credit union. This is a very common practice in the industry, and it’s so common that your lender really should talk to you about this option from day one when looking for the loan.

However, make sure that the person 1) has a good credit rating, 2) if possible has been living in the same area for a little while (to show that they are more permenant and less of a risk to the bank), and 3) if possible has a relationship with the bank. These three things will help you get either a new loan or a refinance car loan for bad credit.

The second option, which is also a common practice, is to find a dealer who specializes in bad credit car loans. Usually these are smaller car lots with lots of advertising and billboards stating that they help people with bad credit or no credit to get into a car. However, be careful with such loans, as your interest rate will be higher and you will most likely have to make a larger down payment than you would with a traditional car bank loan.
