FIRST-TIME BUYER? LITTLE TO NO CREDIT?
START HERE. β©β©
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is:
βI donβt have enough credit to finance a vehicle.β
Not necessarily! π
If youβre a first-time auto buyer, have limited credit history, or have never had an auto loan before, we have financing options designed to help different credit situations.
And hereβs something important: no credit and bad credit are NOT the same thing.
If youβre trying to build your credit, an auto loan can be one piece of establishing a stronger credit history β when the loan reports to the credit bureaus and payments are made on time.
A few tips before buying your first vehicle:
β’ Make your payments on time, every time
β’ Keep credit card balances less than 30% of total spending limit
β’ Avoid applying for several new accounts at once
β’ Keep older credit accounts open when it makes sense β paying of statement balance every month
β’ Choose a vehicle/payment that comfortably fits your budget
β’ Donβt be afraid to ask questions β financing shouldnβt feel confusing or intimidating! We are your people for asking questions!
No previous auto loan? Limited credit? First big purchase?
Come talk to us.
Weβll walk you through the process, explain your options, and help you understand what lenders are looking for β without making you feel embarrassed for starting somewhere.
Everybody has a first car loan. π
