Problem getting auto loan, please HELP. I make good salary.
Dear Sirs.
I am a newbie here but i hear that there are many intelligent people concerning Cars in this forum. I am trying to get a 5 year auto loan for a Acura TL 08, i am trying to buy. I had always owned acura TL's and loved them except the Transmission breaking down. but that is not the issue. My problem is i had auto loan with Honda financial on my last loan, and i had gone out of the country for about 5-6 month on a family emergency. at that time i had someone take care of the auto loan payments for me but this person completely failed at his task and to make long story short, my car was Repoed once during the loan. Of course, this was taken care of as soon as i found out when i got back. Now HOnda is refusing to give me loans for my new acura. and the finance guy at this one dealership is telling me that i may have problem getting auto loans in this time of Credit crunch. I make good Salary around $85,000 per year. but i don't have enough money saved to pay cash. CAN I STILL GET AUTO LOAN from somewhere else ??? What do you guys think ? Please HELP. |

Yes, if you are a member of a Credit Union you can likely get a loan through there.

First question is... Do you have ANY other dings on your credit?
Second, if your credit union won't work with you, have you tried going higher up in the organization. There's always someone that can say "yes", but nearly everyone can say "no". You can also try a different credit union. You can live on 45 to 50K, save the difference, and pay cash in about 6-7 months. |

OK, so your credit is bad and that's your fault - you neglected to include that.
No, nobody will give you an auto loan and it's your own damn fault. If you make plenty of money to afford the car, then save up for it.

Re: Problem getting auto loan, please HELP. I make good salary.
It is one thing to have derogatory marks on your credit. But to have them repeatedly, and frequently is very bad on your part.
It took me roughly five years to repair my credit, after neglecting it poorly. Your best bet is to find reliable used car, and pay cash for that. Then work on correcting your credit over the next several years. |

You might find someone to give you a loan at 23% interest. But at that rate, it will make the discount on the TL look obsolete. Your past credit history says you cannot handle a car payment. Plain and simple. |

I suggest you take a long look in the mirror, and decide to take care of things. You might start by paying off the people you cheated in the past. Yes, if you take out a loan, even if it is from a scummy credit card company, and then you don't pay for it, you've cheated them. Put yourself in the shoes of a lender... Would you lend to someone who's repeatedly broken his promise to pay? It sounds harsh, but the best thing you can do is save up cash for the next auto (I would not buy new), and settle up with the folks from your past. If you put a few positives on your credit, and keep doing it for several years, then lenders will start to look at you more favorably. Regardless of how you go about it, fixing your credit will take TIME, it cannot be done quickly. |

It will take time, but you can make your credit report a lot better by yourself. Just start paying all your bills on time, avoid any repos, and wait for those negative items on your credit report to eventually fall off.

Re: Problem getting auto loan, please HELP. I make good salary.
^^^Thank you,, you are the BEST. i got about $14,000 in loan from my 403b retirement plan. but need another $10,000 in loans. do you know of anyone else , i maybe able to go ?? i hate burrowing against my own retirement money but had no choice. I think this 03 Acura TL-S Transmission is a ticking time bomb. i has been acting up lately. the car has about 120,000 miles on it now. but the Transmission had to be replaced 2 times already,, once at 50,000 miles and once at 100,000 miles. Do you think i should have Sued Acura for the Lemon Law claim ???? i am being told that this transmission problem was something that Acura knew about.
