*Do the Research

It is important to understand what your credit score means and how it can affect your ability to buy a car. There are two levels of "subprime" credit:

• Subprime: Credit scores ranging 501 and 600
• Deep subprime: Credit scores under 500
• Even though buying a car with a lower score is more difficult, it isn't impossible. A lower score typically means a higher interest rate costing you a little more money each month.

Save up for a Down Payment

Putting a down payment on a car with either cash or a combination of cash and a trade in can increase your chances of being approved. By putting something on the line, it shows your commitment and builds trust that you will continue to make payments on your vehicle. It can also help to afford a nicer vehicle without increasing your monthly payments.

*Choose the Right Car

Lenders look at more than just the price of a car when they are considering you for an auto loan. The type of vehicle and it's mileage or age among many other factors can play into whether or not you get approved. Sometimes you will have to choose the smart decision in order to rebuild your credit.

Good Practices With Loans

When you do purchase a vehicle on a loan or if you have existing debts, it is important to always do your best to make the payments. But if the situation arises where you can't make a payment or will be making a late payment, simply communicating with the lender can help. Some banks will forgive a missed payment if it is an irregular occurrence but you might not know this unless you call and speak with them.
