No Credit Car Loans - Even With No Credit History, You Can Still Get Approved


Even it you have no credit history, you can still get approved for a car loan. With a car loan, you can purchase your vehicle and build your credit history. Online car loan lenders make shopping easy, and you can find low rates compared to traditional banks.

Get Started

Before you launch into car loan shopping, take a look at your credit history. Even if you have never opened a credit card account, you still have a credit history. Regular bill payments count as well as a checking account. Hint - open a checking account if you haven't already.

Plan On A Down Payment

With no credit, you get treated much like you have bad credit with financing companies. To offset the risk of your loan, plan on putting down a large down payment. You may get away with a down payment as little as 5%, but 20% will ensure lower rates.

Research Companies

Online car loan lenders offer several different types of financing. Request quotes from both traditional lenders and subprime lenders. Subprime lenders provide financing to people with adverse credit. Usually their rates are only slightly higher than a traditional lender with few fees.

Evaluate Rates And Terms

To find the best financing for your automobile, evaluate rates and loan terms by your financial goals. While low rates will save you money, you will often have a higher monthly payment. Decide how much you can afford monthly and look for a package that offers the best price within those figures.

Get Pre-approved

When you have settled on a lender, go ahead and get pre-approved. By filling out the paperwork online you will save yourself time and money through reduced fees. Once approved, you can then go car shopping like a cash buyer. You have the option to buy through a car dealership or through a private individual.

Think Refinance

Even car loans can be refinanced today. If you find yourself with a less than ideal loan rate, you can plan on refinancing your loan within a couple of years. Take the remaining time to build up your credit history by making regular car payments. With your approved car loan, you will also be able to qualify for credit cards to help build your credit score.
