This form provides our finance experts with the information they need to start searching for the best possible loan terms for your unique situation.

They consider factors that paint a more complete picture of your financial health, such as:
By focusing on these elements, we can often secure approvals for customers who have been turned down elsewhere. We believe that a steady job and a commitment to making payments are strong indicators of a successful loan.

One of the most significant benefits of securing an auto loan through our dealership is the opportunity to rebuild your credit. The lenders we work with typically report your payment history to the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). By making your payments on time each month, you demonstrate financial responsibility and begin to build a positive payment history. Over the term of your loan, this can lead to a substantial improvement in your credit score. A higher credit score opens doors to better interest rates on future loans, credit cards, and even mortgages. An auto loan from our dealership is more than just a car; it is an investment in your financial future. You can easily make a payment through our convenient online portal.

Yes, in many cases, you can. We work with lenders who specialize in post-bankruptcy financing. As long as your bankruptcy has been discharged, many lenders view it as a fresh start and will focus on your current income and ability to pay rather than the past event. It is one of the most common situations we help customers navigate.
The down payment amount can vary based on the vehicle you choose and the lender's requirements. However, providing a down payment is highly recommended as it reduces the loan amount, lowers your monthly payments, and shows lenders you are invested in the purchase. We can often work with a variety of down payment amounts to find a solution.
When you first apply, our initial review is designed to minimize any impact. When we submit your application to our lending network, there will be inquiries on your credit report. However, credit scoring models typically treat multiple auto loan inquiries within a short period (usually 14-45 days) as a single event, which minimizes the impact on your score. This allows you to shop for the best rate without significant penalty.
Absolutely. Trading in a vehicle is a common part of the car-buying process, even for customers with bad credit. We can appraise your current car and help you understand your options. The value of your trade-in can be used as part of your down payment. You can get an estimate of your vehicle's worth by using our online value my trade tool.
Yes, we do. Having no credit history can be just as challenging as having bad credit. We have specific programs and lenders who cater to first-time buyers. These programs are designed to help you establish a credit history while getting you into your first reliable vehicle.
