    well if you had bad credit before and still bad credit you have a chance. but if you had good credit before and bad credit now, than probably not. even if you havnt missed a payment with this loan, you have bad credit for a reason and they will look at that over all. so if you have bad credit now, you only real option is a cosigner.

    Pull your own credit first and educate yourself before attempting to buy a car. You have 45 days to have your credit pulled from different entities before it gives you a negative point deduction.

    HERE IS THE GOLDEN TICKET CAR DEALERS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!!

    Borrow the cars for a day or two first, and get to know the car to see if you like it.
    (1) It is called a borrowed vehicle agreement or BVA, it is just a form you sign with the miles when the car left and when it returned, you give them a copy of your drivers license as well.

    (2) Get to a credit union before you set foot in a dealership and get your financing in place first. You need to give them a ballpark price on what you want to spend and they can see if they can approve you for that price.

    (3) Never,never,never pay more than the invoice price of a car. You go to the dealership and state that you want to buy a certain car for invoice minus rebates. If buying used, remember used cars have an average $3,500 mark-up. I would suggest you negotiate for 2 days, and I promise they will call you to come in for the rock bottom price.

    (4) So here is the golden info. I am going to share with you!!!
    Shop your interest rate first at 2 or 3 banks and get the best rate, credit unions are usually the way to go. Banks are not all the same, they are just like the dealerships, WATCH OUT!
    Go on the net and shop 2 or 3 dealers and get the rock bottom price (invoice minus rebates) make the internet sales manager fight for your business.
    Walk in the dealership that won your approval and borrow the car(BVA). You are now the one in charge because you have the pre-approval and the rock bottom price.
    When you go to sign the paperwork in finance, then that is where the sales managers expect to make up for their losses.
    They did not make any $$$ on the front end, So they expect to make it up on the back end (finance mgr).
    Everything in the finance managers office is also negotiable, keep in mind, I have seen those guys really turn up the pressure and literally blow their lid if they don’t get what they want, Hold your ground!!!
    I would recommend you buy gap insurance from him, and nothing else. The gap insurance is very cheap and extremely important to have,believe me! But the car is already under warranty, so you will not need anything else.
    If you listen to me, you can trade your car in every three years and never need an extended warranty and if you don’t buy a bunch of extras in finance you will never be upside down when you get ready to trade it in.
    Just imagine going through life and cruising in a new car all the time with low payments and being in control of your finances, It is the best way to build a good credit score.
