Chances of getting a loan?
I am looking into purchasing an 06 XJR, I have found a few for around $35k with mileage in the 10,xxx range. I am just wondering what my chances of getting a car loan are; age: 19, Gross Monthly Income:$2,000, Down Payment: $5,000, never had a car loan before, 735 credit score, have only had the job for a month. I don't have any rent or other payments because I am in college so my parents are covering everything else. I want the loan to be 60 months so I can keep the payments lower but I will just double pay until I return to school full time.

RE: Chances of getting a loan?
for the fact you have never had a car loan before and i take it you havent had a mortgage under your SSN your chances are pretty much 0, i went through this because i was going to finance my s type r to build car credit. All my credit was good, similar score at 750, pretty much 0 credit card debt as i paid them all off every month usually etc. Every car ive ever bought i paid cash, which to me you should get rewarded way more on the credit scale for. If you can get your parents to co-sign for you or brother/sister you could probably get approved no problem. Due to my parents estate planning and tax situation they arent able to co-sign for me, so i was left to pay cash as usual. the next car i get im going to have my brother co-sign for me so i can get car credit and just pay it off reasonably quickly most likely. your target price for that car should be more like $30-$32k max before TTT. hope this helps

My parents won't cosign for the same reason, they are planning for their retirement and are looking to buy another house on the East Coast so they want their credit line to not be tied up. I am trying to convince them to pay cash for the car and set up a payment plan with me, but I really want to have the loan on my record so when I graduate from school I have excellent credit and can actually get a mortgage when the time comes. I am going to wait off until Jan or Feb so I have the job for at least a few months and maybe try to put more like 10k down along with having a higher credit score from a few more months on credit cards.

yeah i offered to do up to 50% down and that still didnt help, do you have grandparents who can co-sign? my parents have a really technical estate plan in place and tax plan which is why mine was a no go, it will now get 10x more techincal since the democraps r managing to take over more[:'(]

Two grandmothers left, one is extremely wealthy but estranged from the family for a good reason while the other is extremely lacking in financial sense to the point we had to buy out one of her houses so she did not go bankrupt. I do have a brother, but he isn't the type that would cosign on a nice car; he is more the type to spend his money on snowmobiles, dirtbikes, boats, rock crawlers, etc. and sees the car to just be a method to get your stuff to where your going. My dad would have been the best bet, he is obsessed with cars like I am and owns a few race cars and multiple street cars.

It DOES hurt to try. Every inquiry on your credit negatively affects you, especially if you're declined. Given the current credit market, your job stability and your credit, you WON'T get approved for that amount. Even if you had an extra 1K in gross income and another $5K for down payment, you're still not a favorable lender. You don't have collateral either, like a home. The reason you won't get approved will be plain and simple...insufficient credit history. Save your dough and get a co-signer, or save the 5 until you get some more money for a down payment for a home. You'll get much further with a home than with a dope car. You probably already know that though, and being 19 you won't pay any head to me.

RE: Chances of getting a loan?
I had my parents co sign for me once. I had the loan for about a year and always paid my payments on time and after that year my parents wanted me to try to get it refinanced in my name so it would free up their credit. I ended up trading it in for another car thatI originally wanted in the first place (but couldn't get because I was between jobs) and got it financed in my name with a good finance rate. My parents credit was now clear of my loan and I had a car that was in my name only. It's true that too many inquiries are not good for your credit but you have to try sometime. If you have only been at your job for a month I would wait 6mo at least and then I would go into the dealer and talk to them ... tell them what car you are looking at and what your situation is. Let them know that you don't want to waste your time or theirs if they can't work with you. At least you will know where you stand. Good Luck! : )

Fustrating situation you have there. regardless of your age or the 5k your looking to put down. You could be 50 years old and have a great credit history. The main reason you will not get the loan is that when you take into account the fact that theprincipal, sales taxand interest on a 60 month loan for 30K will be about $550 per month. Your debt to income ratio is what 's going to kill you. They will not give you a loan that will eat up over 25% of you income.
