For people with bad credit, no credit, or poor credit history, getting a car loan can seem like it is outside the realm of possibility. However, that is not always the case. You can buy a car with bad credit without using a cosigner, and this article explains how. 

What Credit Score Do You Need To Get A Car Without A Cosigner?

Most financial institutions require a credit score of 650 or above in order to qualify for a good car loan. If your credit score falls below this score, many times they will require a cosigner for the loan. This consigner is the person who is responsible for the loan payment if you fail to pay them. However, for people who don’t have someone who can be a cosigner, this can come as bad news, but all hope is not lost.

Purchasing a car is already stressful enough without having to worry about your credit history. Thankfully, guaranteed loans are available for individuals with bad or non-existent credit. The team at Car N Credit is available to help you get a guaranteed loan and purchase a vehicle.

What is a Guaranteed Loan?

For individuals who don’t have a credit history or who have a low credit score, getting a loan from a typical bank is difficult. Instead of relying on a bank, some dealerships offer customers guaranteed loans. A guaranteed loan is a promise of repayment on the loan by the dealership should the payer default. This means that instead of working with the loan institution, you work with the dealership to arrange payments. At Car N Credit, we offer guaranteed loans to individuals who live within a 60-mile radius of our dealership. 

Information Needed to Buy a Car with a Guaranteed Loan

Are you planning to buy a car? If yes, you most probably are considering a loan. 85% of new car purchases in the country are financed. But when you apply for a loan, you need to consider your credit score.

What Is a Credit Score?

The credit score is a system designed to identify the creditworthiness of borrowers from the perspective of a lender. You can get a score of anywhere between 300 to 850. The higher your score, the better you look to lenders.

A high credit score means getting better rates with lenders. That is because they see you as someone trustworthy.

That said, several factors can affect your overall score. These include: 

  • Previous loans
  • Length of credit history
  • Types of credit 
  • Total amount you owe
  • History of your payments
