Luis O.Myth vs. reality
The truth
You need excellent credit to buy a car.
No you do not. We work with every credit situation: bad credit, no credit, first time buyers, prime credit, and everything in between. Your situation is not a disqualifier here.
You need a driver's license to finance a car.
Not always. Depending on the lender, buyers can get approved with an ITIN, matricula consular, or passport instead. Ask us about your situation.
You need paystubs and W-2s to get approved.
Not necessarily. Several of our lenders work with bank statements and other proof of income for self-employed and cash-income buyers.
I just turned 18 with no credit. How will I get a car?
First time buyer programs look at your income and down payment instead of requiring credit history. Buyers get approved on their very first car here all the time.
What if I get denied?
One no is not the end. We work with multiple lenders, and a different down payment or a co-signer can change the answer. We keep working it with you.
Outside financing
Already approved? Bring it.
Got a pre-approval from your credit union or bank? We welcome outside financing with open arms. Bring your check, pick your car, and drive home.
