Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Financing
What is the minimum credit score required to get a car loan?
There is no specific minimum credit score. We work with a diverse group of lenders who look at your entire financial profile, including your income, employment stability, and the size of your down payment. We have successfully helped customers across the entire credit spectrum find financing options, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your score.
Can I get financed if I have a past bankruptcy?
Yes, obtaining an auto loan after bankruptcy is possible. Many of our lending partners specialize in providing options for individuals with a discharged bankruptcy on their record. Our finance team understands the specific requirements and can guide you through the process. For more information, please see our page on bankruptcy car loans.
What documents should I bring when applying for a loan?
To help speed up the process, it is a good idea to bring a valid driver's license or state ID, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs or bank statements), proof of residence (like a recent utility bill), and proof of auto insurance. If you are trading in a vehicle, please bring the title and registration as well.
Will multiple applications hurt my credit score?
When you apply directly through our dealership, we work to minimize the impact on your credit. Our process involves submitting your application to multiple lenders who are a good fit for your profile within a short time frame. Credit scoring models typically treat these multiple inquiries for an auto loan as a single event, which helps protect your score while you shop for the best rate.
Do you offer Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) financing?
Yes, in addition to working with outside lenders, we also offer in-house financing solutions like Buy Here Pay Here. This can be a great alternative for customers who may not qualify for traditional loans. With BHPH, we are the lender, which gives us more flexibility in our approval decisions.
