How to Get an Auto Loan if You Have Bad Credit

Auto Loans with Bad Credit: A Guide

Sometimes, auto financing can be a tough pill to swallow, especially if you've had credit difficulties. When lending seems almost impossible, you might be tempted to give up altogether. Borrow a friend's car for a little while, use a rideshare service, or city transportation. Those are a few options, but here's another. You can visit 1st Choice Motors. We'll show you why we're the first choice for so many people in the market to buy a used car in Madison Heights, VA.

Manageable Monthly Payments

Ways to Get in Position to Finance Your Vehicle

The Down Payment

The down payment is a huge benefit when financing your vehicle. The larger your down payment, the less your monthly payment. The two go hand in hand.

Find a Co-Borrower

One way to get a helping hand is with a co-borrower. If this person has a better credit rating than you, your chance of landing in the driver's seat will skyrocket. Ask friends or family members if they would be willing to help you find a vehicle as a co-borrower.

Secure a Loan Through Your Own Bank or Credit Union

Many of our customers already have a lender in place when they arrive. When you finance through your own bank or credit union, you could secure lower rates and, depending on your history with them, have an easier time with the lending process.

The only thing you'll settle for is a lower payment. For everything else, you can keep your expectations sky high. Looking for a specific model or price range? We will make it easier for you to find it in our used inventory.
