Tips for a Smoother Approval Process
While we do the heavy lifting, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the auto financing process. Being prepared can help speed things up and potentially improve the options available to you.
- Know Your Budget: Before you start shopping, have a clear idea of what monthly payment you can comfortably afford. Consider your total budget, including fuel, insurance, and potential maintenance.
- Save for a Down Payment: A down payment can be very helpful. It reduces the total amount you need to borrow, which can lower your monthly payments and may improve your chances of approval.
- Value Your Trade-In: Do you have a current vehicle to trade in? Use our free Value My Trade tool to get an instant estimate. A trade-in can serve as a significant down payment.
- Gather Your Documents: Having documents like recent pay stubs, proof of residence (like a utility bill), and a valid driver's license ready can help expedite the finalization of your loan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Financing
Can I get an auto loan if I have bad credit?
Many people with less-than-perfect credit are able to obtain auto financing. We specialize in working with individuals who have challenging credit situations. Our finance team partners with a variety of lenders who look at more than just your credit score, including your income and job stability. While no outcome can be promised, we will work hard to find a potential solution for you. We recommend filling out our secure application to see what options may be available.
What kind of down payment do I need?
The need for a down payment varies depending on the lender, your credit history, and the vehicle you choose. While a down payment is often helpful as it lowers the amount you need to finance and can result in a lower monthly payment, some financing options may require little to no money down. We can explore all possibilities with you after you submit a financing application.
Will applying for a loan affect my credit score?
When you formally apply for a loan, lenders will perform a "hard inquiry" on your credit report, which can cause a small, temporary drop in your credit score. However, credit scoring models often account for rate shopping. Multiple inquiries for the same type of loan within a short period (typically 14-45 days) are often treated as a single inquiry, minimizing the impact on your score.
Can I finance a car if I am self-employed or have irregular income?
Yes, it is possible to get an auto loan with non-traditional income sources. Lenders will typically want to see proof of a steady and sufficient income to cover the loan payments. For self-employed individuals, this can often be demonstrated with bank statements, tax returns, or other financial documents. Our finance team can guide you on what documentation will be most helpful for your situation.
What is the difference between getting pre-qualified and pre-approved?
Getting pre-qualified is an initial step that gives you an estimate of what you might be able to borrow, often based on a soft credit check that does not affect your score. Getting pre-approved is a more formal step where you submit a full application, and a lender performs a hard credit inquiry to provide a conditional offer of credit for a specific amount. Our pre-qualification form is a great first step with no obligation.
