Financing a Car With Subprime Credit

Financing a Car With Subprime Credit


Subprime credit, often defined as a credit score of 670 or lower per Experian, can make it harder to secure traditional loan approvals. * However, at our Ford dealership, it's not a roadblock; it's simply part of the route.

Here's how we make financing possible:

  • Lender Network Connections: We partner with multiple banks and credit unions experienced in working with subprime borrowers, giving you access to competitive terms you may not find on your own.
  • Customized Loan Plans: We tailor each offer to your circumstances, from adjusting loan length to finding down payment options that work with your budget.
  • Clear Communication: Our finance managers explain every step, including interest rates, monthly payments, and total costs, so you're never left guessing.

You can begin the finance process from home by completing our online finance application. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us!

How to Improve Your Credit Score


While we're happy to help you finance now, improving your credit score can unlock even better terms in your future. Here's how to start:

1

Make Payments On Time

Late payments can quickly lower your score, while consistent, on-time payments can easily raise it. Use automatic payments or reminders to stay on track.

2

Keep Balances Low

Your credit utilization, the percentage of available credit you're using, should ideally stay below 30 percent. Paying down higher-balance credit cards can help.

3

Maintain Long-Standing Accounts

The longer your credit history, the better. Avoid closing old accounts, even if you use them rarely.

4

Mix of Credit Types & Fewer Hard Inquiries

Having both revolving credit (like credit cards) and installment loans (like auto loans) helps. Limit how often you apply for new credit to avoid multiple hard pulls on your report.

5

Use an Auto Loan to Build Credit

Financing a car and making each payment on time, can be a powerful way to improve your credit standing. Over time, this track record shows lenders you're dependable and credit-worthy.

 

FAQs

What does "subprime credit" mean?

It refers to a lower credit score, often below 670, due to factors like late payments or a poor credit history. While it can mean higher interest rates, it does not eliminate your ability to secure financing.

Can I get approved for a loan with subprime credit?

Yes. At Puente Hills Ford, we work with specialized lenders that help drivers with less-than-perfect credit get financing that fits their needs.

Will my monthly payment be higher?

It depends on the loan amount, interest rate, and term. Choosing a reliable pre-owned model or offering a trade-in can help lower monthly payments.

Can financing help improve my credit?

Absolutely. Making every payment on time will positively affect your payment history, one of the biggest factors in your credit score.
