2. Lenders heavily scrutinize the credit background of borrowers to see if they can be trusted with a loan. That’s why it’s important to have a good credit rating and to be able to show capacity to pay. What if you have bad credit rating right now, though? Will you still be able to get a car loan? Fortunately, the answer to that is yes. There are lending institutions that consider granting loans even to those who have a negative credit report ratings. If you are planning on getting a car anytime soon, but are worried about your negative rating, here are some tips that could prove helpful to you. Work with an Auto Dealer If you’re not sure how to approach a lending institution due to bad credit, you can seek help from the auto company you are looking to buy a car from. Some car dealerships foster professional relationships with these lenders, making the facilitation of your application easier. Approval will still be dependent on the decision of the lender, but the backing of a car dealer will be a factor towards approval. The good thing about working with the car company is that they have more than just one option for you. Even if things don’t work out with one lender, they can simply redirect you to another one. Decide Based on Loan Terms A common mistake borrowers make is to rate the cost-efficiency of a loan based on the monthly payments. However, smaller monthly payments usually means longer payment periods. You’re actually paying a lot more interest for loans with longer repayment periods, although you won’t really notice it because you’re paying in small increments. Loans meant to be repaid over a shorter period of time are usually offered at lower rates of interest, which translates to even more savings. Improve Your Credit Score Even if your car dealer is helping you out, you should still work on improving your credit score. Plan your purchase and prepare for the loan application. If you know that you’ll be taking out a car loan three to six months from now, for example, then make it your objective to have a steady stream of income, and pay all your dues in full and on time.
