 Frequently Asked Questions
About Car Loans For People With Bad Credit
Can you tell me my loan amount over the phone?
Nothing is more important than protecting your privacy. We process your application on secure, encrypted servers and we do not pass your personal information to third parties for purposes of solicitation. It's for your protection that we handle all loan details in a person-to-person appointment. |
What kind of interest rate can I expect?
For a car loan for people with bad credit, interest rate factors include your credit score, the size of your downpayment and whether you are buying new or used.
How long does the process take?
Our online auto application takes, on average, 69 seconds to complete. In most cases you will hear from a local loan officer within an hour. Our company has 19 years of a majority of its customers driving something new within 48 hours of applying.

Why do you work exclusively with dealers?
Because that's how most banks, finance companies and credit unions work. Car loans are technically what's known as Retail Installment Sales Contracts, where the dealership handles the paperwork but the loan is held by someone else.
I hear noise about best time ever to buy a car. Truth or hype?
True. Dealers are dying at the rate of two per day. Sales are awful. Bad news for them is good news for you. There are historic discounts and incentives currently on the market. The flipside is credit is tighter and downpayments are higher, but applying through us can increase your chances of approval.

The Intellichoice
BOVY Awards
For more than 20 years, Intellichoice has been offering its list of Best Overall Values of the Year, a list driven by raw data, not opinions.
Since this list is based on new cars and trucks, you have to go back a few years to see vehicles that have dropped into our price range.
From the 05 list, for instance, you'll find the Volkswagen Passat edging out the Honda Accord as the best overall value winner -- and lots of love for Chevrolet Silverado trucks.
The 04 list included the VW Golf and Honda Civic as best compacts, the Lincoln LS as the best "near luxury" car, and the Scion XB as the best small wagon.
