Are You Eligible For A Car Loan With Bad Credit?

Finances should never keep you out of a reliable ride. Here at Nissan of Orangeburg, our team can help you get approved – no matter your credit score! Let our Nissan Finance Department put our expertise to work for you, focused on securing the most competitive interest rate on your auto loan.

Whether you’re interested in a lease or loan, our finance specialists are standing by to help you get started. Here’s what you need to know:

What Impacts Your Credit Score?

To make it simply, there are two main factors that impact your average credit score:

  • Payment history (35% of your score): Indicates whether you are a good candidate for a loan, determining if you can be trusted to make on-time payments. Late or missed payments can drastically lower your credit score.
  • Credit use (30% of your score): Refers to the portion of available credit you are already using. If you have maxed out your credit cards or are currently paying off a large loan, lenders may be hesitant to work with you.

Our finance experts may recommend building your credit score back up before making a purchase. This could help you qualify for the very best financing options – and set you up for success! Here’s how you can work toward a higher credit score:

  • Pay bills on time.
    Payments that are more than 30 days past due can ruin your credit score, so be sure to at least pay the minimum each month.
  • Reduce your debt.
    Do your best to keep credit card balances on the low end of the limit.
  • Do not apply for additional loans.
    Avoid applying for another loan within six months of applying for a car loan.

Have A Vehicle to Trade in?

In many cases, even borrowers lacking a good credit score are required to put some cash down on their car loan – usually at least $1,000. Trading in your current vehicle is a great way to get some money in your pocket.

Putting your trade-in equity toward a new or used vehicle lowers your loan amount. And this will help you get approved! Plus, you won’t have to pay as much interest over time!
