One day you get up to turn your trusty vehicle over and you keep on trying and it won’t start. You’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time for an upgrade, something more reliable to get you from a to b. The last time you brought your ride to the shop they said it needed a repair that is more than what the vehicle is worth. And, if you are like many of us in America, you may have some issues with your credit. Now the real worry comes, how can I get financed on a used car if I have bad credit?

Bad Credit? It’s Okay! 

 

Today, Experian estimates that one-third of Americans have a FICO score below 670. A score below 670 is considered “Fair”, we have plenty of lenders we work with that give automotive loans to those even with credit scores below 670. There are other factors that can harm your credit score. If you have a history of making late payments or collections, this can damage your score. When filing for personal bankruptcy, your credit score will most likely take a huge hit. Whatever the reason, it is more common than you think and easy to end up with a bad credit score. We recommend signing up with Experian, Equifax, or Transunion to get a free credit report. You are entitled to one free credit report every twelve months. There are also other sources such as Credit Karma that will help you evaluate your credit and see what items could be helping or hurting your score.
 

 

There are plenty of dealers who offer financing on used cars with bad credit. We have three locations that do so; Auto Outlets of Canandaigua, Auto Outlets of Webster, and Auto Outlets of Wolcott. Whether you live in Rochester, NY, or Close to Syracuse, NY our team is nearby to help you obtain financing on a used vehicle. One of the best ways and fastest and affordable ways to increase your credit score is by purchasing a used vehicle. There are two major types of consumer credit: revolving credit (for example credit card) and installment loans (auto loans, mortgages, and student loans). By getting an auto loan and a credit card down the road, will show the rating agencies that you are responsible for both types of credit. But having installment payments, such as a car loan will do more for your credit than any other type of credit. Having bad credit is no longer a hurdle for obtaining a used car loan. At Auto Outlets USA, we do our best to make sure you are able to finance a used car from us, by getting the vehicle you need and improving your credit score.
