How To Finance A Car Knowledge Base
How do I get out of a car finance contract without ruining my credit? So recently my car broke down, and I was so panicked that I went out and financed a 16 year old car because it was the lowest possible payments I could get. I acted on an impulse which was not smart on my part. But the car is falling apart in everyway possible and I just barely made my second payment on it. Not to mention the car gets 15 miles to the gallon and we all know what gas prices are like. The car lot told me to lie to the finance company about my down payment, and they sold it to me without me realizing the headlights dont work properly. Does anyone know of any loop holes or anything to get me out of this contract??

But, since I want to get my car the first week on my new job, will the finance company finance me?

How can I finance a car from Craigslist or a small dealer? I want to buy a car (2002ish) from a used car lot of Craigslist for about 7k. The problem is only the big dealerships offer the easy financing, and Craigslist and the smaller lots yield mostly to cash customers. How could I finance a car from one of these? What's a "lending institution" or something? It seems impossible!! A specific service/website would be appreciated. Thank you! :)

How do I convience my mom to let me finance a car? I really want a '97 to '01 Honda Crv. I have enough money to finance one and I'm almost 18. We only have one car and we all have to share and sometimes it gets really hard. Now my sister doesn't work at the same job I do so its harder to share the car. BTW the car is shared by my mom, sis , and me. I think that if I get my own car things would be easier. I know I could pay payments on a car cause I've saved up all of my money. How would I ask or convience my mom to let me finance a car? how would I do it and what would I say? I know cause I'm not yet 18 that I'd probably need a cosigner, right. Please help, If I'm gonna do this I need to do it now.
Do I have to take out a loan to Finance a car or are there other options for paying the left over cost? Hello, I have several questions about purchasing my first vehicle. I have been eyeing a gently used 07 Ford Fusion that is around $16,000. I plan on making a down payment of $5,000. And I have a steady job.

Please help me understand what will happen as far as financing is concerned, because i have the down payment. I just need to know what are the options for paying the remaining amount of the car after the down payment. Thanks
Is it entirely impossible to finance a car with two judgements on an already bad credit report? I know it's a pathetic question, and it sounds like an oxymoron, but sometimes people encounter unfortunate situations in their life, and make irresponsible decisions in their past, and it will continue to haunt them. In the process of dealing with the consequences of bad decisions, life does need to move forward. Cars get old, have 150,000 k + miles and getting another car is essential. If a person (not myself!) has two judgements (totaling under $6000 collectively) and bad credit from credit card troubles, but has a steady job and makes $32,000+ a year, would it be possible in the slighest to finance a car? I am aware of high interest rates and such. I do know from experience that my parents had a bankcruptcy, came out of it, and within a month they were able to finance a new SUV. Would it better to go bankcrupt? Advice?

Is there any place that doesnt require steady income..like holding a job for 6+ months. I plan to stay with this job but i also need a car soon.
What happens if you cannot afford to pay your car finance? I bought a car from ford two years ago and it is financed through santander.

What will be the worst case scenario if I literally cannot afford to pay them on a monthly basis?
What are the chances I, as a college student, will be able to successfully finance a new car? Hi guys, I'm a full time second-year college student with a part time paid internship on the side in which I get paid slightly under 500 dollars a month. I have about 2000 saved up in the bank and was looking at a new car that runs about 15-16k. I know nothing about how financing a car works other than the simple down payment + monthly payments (with interest). I'm wondering if it's possible for me at all to finance a car like this and what the application process is. Thanks a lot!! I'm also not sure what my credit is at all, other than I always pay all 3 of my credit cards on time. I also have zero expenses as I commute to my university. Does this change anything?

Can you advise me on how to handle an unethical finance department within a Florida car dealership? Two weeks ago, in Florida, I financed a car. I signed a contract, paid the downpayment in the manner the dealership finance officers prescribed and drove off with the car. Now they want more money, in a different way or they threaten to pick up the car. I'm sure this is a common story and it also involves my original salesperson being fired, "hearsay" the likes of which would stagger an orator, getting repeated phone calls from many different people all with a different story, etc. I like the car and as I said, I signed the contract, paid the money and drove off with the subject of the contract. I'm imagining if they pick the car up that such is theft. Regardless, they tell me today I have to go into the dealership Sat. to "fix the deal". As this all sounds like a problem on their end and the rule of "Consideration" was satisfied on the part of all involved, what can I do without court?
How the heck do I finance a car??? I am 29 and single. I desperately need a new car, since my Subaru is getting too costly to fix. I will buy a car, not lease since I plan to have New Car for the long haul. I do not belong to a credit union, nor have I ever gotten a loan from a bank, but I do have squeaky-clean credit. What are my options for financing a new car? More specifically, what are my BEST options? What's going to be worth it in the long-run--financing from the car co., my bank, or joining a credit union (and if so, how the heck do I join a credit union?). Borrowing money from family is NOT an option because they will screw me over--I know from the School of Hard Knocks. Can I use my Subaru as a down payment? Can I pay tax, title and license as part of the overall package? Thanks in advance for your insights and stories!

Will it help my credit score to finance a car and to pay it off immediately? I am trying to build credit so that my husband and I can get a homeloan. I am used to live within my means and to save until I can afford to buy what I need. I have enough money to buy a car in cash. But would it be better to finance it and pay it off immediately?

Thanks for your input!!!

How is it to not have a car in NY and still get around? What are the penalties of returning a car you finance? This is a two part question: I live in New York and as you know we have a transit system. Maybe some NYers are able to answer this question better than others but do you think it's a burden to not have a car in NY? Also, I have a 2005 Nissan Altima with 11,150 miles. It is a burden on me financially. Is it possible to return it and if so, what are the penalties? What are my options for getting rid of it? By the way, this question is open to anyone.
How do I finance my first car? I have a few questions. I currently own a 93 Subaru Legacy, but I'm hoping to get something newer (hoping for a newer Legacy, get the AWD). However, my parents gave me the Legacy, and I've never purchased a new car. I'm trying to figure out: -Is a Subaru the best car to get for driving around Colorado (lots of snow)? Is there something else that is a good combo of sporty and reliable, as well as good for snow? -Where is the best place to get a loan? I was going to try my credit union, but I'm not sure what they'll do. Will they (likely) do loans for first time borrowers? -What is my last Subaru worth? Blue book or otherwise? -Is it better to try to find a 2-year old car online, at dealerships, or from a private owner? Also, what amount (percentage) is a good amount to put down on a car?
