Auto financing is out there

I know we have all heard that even with the government bailout banks are not lending money. However that may be true in some cases, more often then not people are able to get financing. It seems people are just afraid to try because everyone thinks there are no loans out there to be had. I see customers in the dealership I work at get auto loans everyday. These customers encompass the full spectrum of credit. From good A+ credit all they way to a customer with a current bankruptcy.

The most important thing is realizing that there is money out there. The only thing stopping consumers are themselves. Right now there is a lot of uncertainty with the economy this is understandable. People across our nation are unsure if they will even have a job tomorrow let alone a month from now. My opinion is the only way we can pull this great country of ours out of the funk it is in, would be to dump money back into the economy. In Michigan we rely heavily on the auto industry from the car makers to the suppliers. Without buying and financing vehicles more and more people will be losing their jobs.

Times have changed when it comes to auto financing that is very true, but banks are still lending money for auto loans. Most banks, credit unions, and finance companies are requiring down payments now. It seems the zero down loans are a thing of the past. I have see terms go from 72 and 84 months on many loans over the last three years cut to 60 months and the occasional 72. Rates have risen unfortunately for some customers that where receiving 7.5% to 9.5% those same customers might qualify for rates of 9.5% to 15%. Lending companies today want a customer in a vehicle that is affordable and lenders want to be in an equity position.

Remember today your credit counts, even more then ever. The key to saving time and lots of frustration is being prepared and knowing what to expect when you take the trip to get your next car loan.
