Everyday people swamp into the dealerships all across the US, looking at new or pre owned vehicles. Getting an auto loan can be challenging, but there are different options depending on your credit score and credit history. Bad credit shouldn’t stop anyone from getting a car loan, it may be obtainable to even the worst situations. But, be prepared you may have to provide such things as: proof of residence, most recent pay check stubs, and maybe even references. Bad credit car loans are harder to get than good credit car loans, it just depends on the situation, also a huge factor that plays a role in a car loan is money down. If one puts a good amount of money down toward a car (a couple thousand) is going to increase the your chances of getting approved.
The amount of money down that you put towards your new car loan will not only make your application look better but it will also lower the risk for the lender. Bad credit or no credit is a risk for the lenders because of the previous credit history, it affects the way that they look at it. If one is putting no money down and looking to purchase a car even if it’s inexpensive, it will be pretty hard to accomplish. This is because of the previous credit history, and the lender doesn’t have any collateral. Also with a large amount of money down this will help get the attention of more lenders, getting you competitive rates, and a better chance to get approved for your new car.
Also take into consideration the vehicles that your are choosing, you must be flexible with the payments, but at the same time you have to make sure it’s affordable and fits your budget. If it doesn’t meet your budget and you finance the car anyways. You may end up getting it repossessed within a few months or years. Look for vehicles that book out to their value. A book out is the amount that a certain car can get loaned up to. So by choosing a car that doesn’t hold its value may not be the right choice, because the bank may not even finance you on that particular car.
The most essential things that one needs to take into consideration when purchasing a car with bad credit or no credit is the money that you put down, credit history, time on job, take home pay, and the car itself. If its possible for someone to co-sign for the vehicle that may be something to take into consideration, but it also may be a risk for the person co-signing. The co-signer should have very good credit, or excellent credit. Remember the lower the risk for the lenders, the lower the rates, easier chance for approval, so gather as much money down before your start car shopping. This will definitely benefit you in the end. Be prepared to provide these documents in order to get you approved for a loan. It is to your benefit and it help your chances of getting competitive rates with more lenders interested in financing your car.

Has anyone had any luck getting a person-to-person auto loan from Capitol One with poor/bad credit?
I have heard that Capitol One approves auto loans for people with poor credit for purchases from a private seller. But I don’t want to apply and get denied, which will damage my credit even further. Can anyone give me any ideas about this or know of any companies that are guaranteed to give bad credit auto loans to people who want to purchase from a private seller, not a dealer?
that’s hard to answer because having bad credit is really preventing you from having alot of options
i think its important to improve your score before digging into more debt
if you have a car just try to hang on to it until you are in a better financial situation (better score)
good luck

I have/had credit issues. I needed a new car last year, and Capital One helped me out. I went to Lending Tree.com, entered my information, and they returned to me a whole bunch of lenders who might help me. Capital One initially denied me through lending tree but then an hour later said I had been approved. If your credit is bad, having a further denial at this point isn’t really going to make much of a difference. It helps if you are working full time and have been for a while now.
I didn’t get a person to person loan through them. I got the Blank Check thing, and then I just used that at the dealer. You can also use the Blank Check at Carmax if you are looking for an inexpensive car. Might be ’safer’ than buying from a person.
Just my two cents! You might also check out some credit unions in your area or if you employer offers some type of help/benefit.
Good luck.
