When subprime auto finance provisions were introduced, it was almost like a celebration for people with bad credit score as they could now get the finances that will get them their personal car. However, at that time they had to adjust with the high interest rate charged from the lender. But, as the times have changed and competition has increased, it is easier to get approved at a low rate. Following are some things which can be done to get approved for subprime auto finance at a low rate:

The first thing to do is check the credit report. Many subprime lenders don’t check the credit history of the applicant but it should be made sure that the credit score is worthy of a high rate. If the score comes in the average region, then it is possible to get a good rate.

The most important thing which should be done at this time is to shop around a lot. This means that the applicant should browse a lot before making a decision. The best place to check is online lending institutions. Just type relevant keywords in any search engine and then browse 10-15 different websites providing finances and check their services. Choose any three or four which seem genuine and then apply to them. After the approval is given, choose the one with the lowest rate of interest.

Another thing to do in this time is not overspend. Lenders look favorably upon borrowers who know what problem they have and are willing to spend accordingly. Just ignoring the score and applying for a big loan can result in a high interest rate.

Hello, I just bought a dodge charger, and I’m waiting to get financed by the dealership. I struck a good deal on this car because the dealership said they can get me a 7.95% interest rate. I have it on contract. Well, they called my and told me they needed to bring the car back. Well, I brought the car back, and they said their going to try to get the 7.95%. They’re basically crooks. So now I still have the car, and it’s been a week and I don’t have financing. How long are they allowed to draw this out for? I want the car, but if they can’t get 7.95% I’m giving the car back. There only option is getting me financed at this point. My question is if their is a law “time wise” that you can’t keep a buyer at bay to wait for an answer. I know their in a tough position because my credit is not stellar.
