Will my Credit affect my Car Loan?

Answer:
Getting a car loan is relatively easy, and most lenders
will approve persons with less-than-perfect credit. However, if you want to receive a low interest rate and enjoy affordable payments, it is best to maintain a good credit rating.


Credit scores can impact your car loan. Since the vehicle serves as collateral for the loan, bad credit will not automatically result in a loan rejection. Yet, you will likely pay a much higher rate, which limits your purchasing power. In other words, you might have to choose a less expensive vehicle.

Before approving a loan application, auto lenders carefully examine the borrower’s credit history and income. Many factors contribute to bad credit. Perhaps you have a recent bankruptcy or foreclosure, and looking for a way to make a fresh start. In this instance, a car loan is a smart choice.

Despite a higher interest rate, the auto loan can increase a low score. Of course, you’ll have to make on-time payments and maintain a good payment history. However, once you’ve re-established a good credit history, you’ll qualify for a better rate.

You can refinance the vehicle loan and lower your monthly payments, or purchase your dream vehicle and keep the payments affordable.
