Well, if you have ever purchased a used or new car before, you know exactly what to do, however, for those who haven't, you may not realize all that you need to do to get a loan. The first step to purchasing a new car is to check your credit rating. Make sure that your credit rating is in good. Basically, to get approved, you need to have a rating of at least 640. The lower that you go the worse the rating you have. When it comes to purchasing a new car loan, you will find that your bad credit will hurt you. In fact, you may have to purchase a used car if your rating is very low. Basically what your credit rating does is allows the creditor to assess rather or not you happen to be a low or high risk. Obviously, they don't give out too many loans to high-risk people so you will need to know your rating first when buying a car. For those who would like a new car, but has some issues in the past with their credit, they will also look at things like your history of employment. If you have a stable job, they are more likely to still get you a loan. You will also want to have a stable residency. If you have lived in the location or state for a long period of time (over a year) than you are a likely candidate for a new car loan regardless of your credit. When it comes to used cars, you have a 50/50 percent chance of getting approved with a credit check, but with a new car, you will find that there will definitely be a credit check. Many people are unable to afford a new because of their credit check. You will want to make sure you know your credit rating so that you can prepare your co-signer to help you out. Usually, when you are buying a new car it will take you a couple hours or maybe even days to get approved. If you are careful and take the right precautions you can be approved the first time. Ask your dealer who you should go through because the dealership has made a lot of relationships with creditors. They will let you know who you can go through to make the loan go through. Don't fret if you are turned down. The dealer will re-file your applications with other creditors and someone will approve your application.
