Buying a Car with Bad Credit and No Money Down – Options

If you are interested in buying a car with bad credit and no money down then there are a few good options that you should consider before you make your purchase. These options include buying the car with a co-signer on the loan, and waiting to purchase the car until you have increased your credit so you become a ‘good credit’ borrower – both options are strongly recommeneded as they will lower the costs of the car loan significantly for you and will help you stay/get back on your feet financially.

Many people wonder how to buy a car with bad credit, yet never consider that they do not have to go alone in this process. You truly are in a much better situation if you can find someone (parent, friend, other family member) who will help you out by co-signing on the loan. Frankly, this is probably your best and perhaps only way to get a car loan with bad credit without putting any money down on signing. Sometimes you can use another car as a trade in, or you can agree to pay very high interest rates, but getting a co-signer is much better than both of these options.

The second option is to wait, find out what is wrong with your credit score and history, then take the time and steps necessary to fix it. While this used to be more difficult, it has become much easier to find out what is on your credit report – in fact you can get full reports and scores for free from all three agencies online in just a few minutes. This is the first step in fixing your problems – finding out what they are. You can then go to each of your creditors and work out a plan to get them to perhaps reduce the loan, pay them off, fix your credit, and become a good credit lender.
