You should look at this as an opportunity to talk with some of the finance companies on your short list and speak to them about your situation, you never know you may be surprised with their answers to your questions. Also, you will need to know that they may ask you for a given amount for down payment to secure the used car loan agreement with them and this you should look at with opportunity.

Find That Great Dealer Many dealers are very conscious that they want to make a bit more of profit and commission from the process of a loan for a used car buyer who needs to take on out. Therefore, different dealers will have contracts with different suppliers so that they will choose from say 5 companies when requesting a loan for you. They will also tend to know which certain companies will lend money to people with bad credit and be able to decipher which company will be the best one for you. You will likely find that a reputable dealer will do all that they can to find you the right loan that will be suitable to finance the car on and where they will receive an amount that they are happy with through commission from the loan company.

Compare Rates and Terms When you are discussing the final details of purchasing your used car from the dealership you will be given an agreement from them that will include the amount of money that is to be paid as well as the amount that you will be paying to the loan company and your monthly payments. You should be firm and ask them to revise their first offer - they will urge you to take it but you should be firm, you will want them to lower their price as well as the loan company lowering theirs or indeed moving to another one. If you have a bad credit history then you should too encourage the car dealer to revise their offer for you, as you want to get the best deal that they will offer you and you shouldn't be given a bad offer simply because you have bad credit - they should always be able to adapt and better the offer that they have first given you.
