Frequently asked questions
What credit score do I need?
Each lender sets its own criteria. We do not guarantee approval at a particular score.
How much down payment do I need?
Requirements vary by lender and vehicle. A trade-in's usable equity depends on its value and any amount owed.
Will applying affect my score?
A lender may use a soft or hard credit inquiry; ask before authorizing it.
Can I apply after bankruptcy or repossession?
Ask which options may apply. Eligibility and any additional approvals depend on your circumstances and the program.
Will financing improve my credit?
Ask whether the lender reports payments. A future credit-score improvement or refinancing rate is not guaranteed.
