Getting a Car Loan With Bad Credit

We get it, credit slip-ups happen. Many people would be surprised to know that bad credit or credit missteps are more common than you’d think. We deal with all kinds of different and unique credit situations here at Auto Depot Sudbury, and bad credit is one of them. Whatever your credit look like, we can help you find and drive your next great used car.

Bad Credit Vehicle Loans—How are they Different?

There is a great deal of advertising out there and we want to be clear that bad credit car loans do exist! They aren’t too good to be true, but they are usually at rates slightly higher than folks with spotless credit reports might receive, and that’s okay. Using these loans is a great way to build your credit back up, and eventually, obtain better rates through refinancing or your next loan.

When you apply for vehicle financing, you’re submitting a request for credit. This means that your credit score is pulled and analyzed to determine how much credits into account.

What else is Being Considered for my Application?

Along with your credit score, lenders look at other relevant details to ensure you’re getting the best fit. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Current employment status
  • Current income and proof of income
  • Other outstanding debt such as credit cards or mortgages
  • Student status
  • Past loan history

With these things in mind, our lender network can determine how much to realistically allow a monthly payment to be, as well as at what rate of interest. Don’t forget to bring ID!

Why Work with Auto Depot Sudbury for a Bad Credit Car Loan?

When you work with us, you aren’t just getting a car or a car loan. Yes, we will help you find a great used car, truck, or SUV, but we also have a dedicated finance team.
