  • Valid Driver's License: A current, valid U.S. driver's license.
  • Down Payment: If you are planning on making a down payment, please be prepared to do so. We accept cash, cashier's checks, and major credit/debit cards.
  • Trade-In Information: If you have a vehicle to trade in, bring the title and registration. You can get a head start by using our online trade-in valuation tool.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bad Credit Car Loans

Can I get a car loan if I have a past bankruptcy?

Yes, in many cases you can. We work with lenders who specialize in providing auto loans to individuals with a discharged Chapter 7 or an active Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Our finance experts can guide you through the specific requirements and help you find a lender willing to work with your situation.

How much of a down payment will I need for a bad credit loan?

The need for a down payment varies depending on the lender, the vehicle you choose, and your overall financial profile. While a down payment is often helpful and can lower your monthly payments, it is not always required. We have options for zero-down loans for qualified buyers. We recommend discussing your options with our finance team.

Will applying for multiple loans hurt my credit score?

When you apply directly with us, we carefully submit your application to the most suitable lenders to minimize credit inquiries. Multiple inquiries in a short period for the same type of loan (like an auto loan) are typically treated as a single inquiry by credit scoring models, having a minimal impact on your score.

Can I trade in my current vehicle even if I still owe money on it?

Absolutely. This is a very common situation. We can appraise your current vehicle and determine its value. We will then work the payoff amount for your existing loan into the new financing deal. In many cases, you can trade in your car and drive away in a new one with one simple transaction.

What types of vehicles can I purchase with a bad credit auto loan?

You can purchase nearly any vehicle from our extensive pre-owned inventory. Our lenders finance a wide range of makes and models, including sedans, coupes, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. Our goal is to get you into a reliable vehicle that fits your needs and your budget, regardless of your credit score.

Do you work with first-time buyers or people with no credit history?

Yes, we do. We understand that everyone has to start somewhere. We have specific programs and lending partners that are designed to help first-time buyers and those with no established credit history get their first auto loan. It is a fantastic way to begin building a positive credit profile for your future.
