What You Need To Know When Applying For Auto Loans

By Denise Jackson

When buying a car, most people require auto loans to fund the purchase. People with bad credit find it particularly hard to get finance and therefore they hurriedly complete applications without understanding the meaning of the answers provided. Every bit of information provided on this application adds up to either make the application a success or wipe out any chances of getting the money for your prized vehicle.

Dealerships generally purchase their full complement of inventory which will be leased out. They take a risk when providing finance to people who might not repay finance packages. If an applicant appears to be a high risk, the financing will not be approved.

It is in the interest of you, the applicant, to nullify or to mitigate the perceived risk the dealership or lender sees when dealing with your application. The first step to doing this is to remove as many issues that blemish your credit record. Do this by disputing items where possible or paying back any debt that you can not dispute.

If the credit scoring cannot be improved, do not panic as there are still ways to obtain finance. Finance officers take the income of the client into account when processing a loan application. Motorists who are in a position to make large down payments will still be able to raise finance for their vehicles.

When counting your income to report on your application, be sure to count everything. Include your salary from any jobs you do, including odd jobs. Also add money from allowances, investments and part time jobs.

Motorists who have lived at the same address for a long time or who have worked for one company for an extended period, appear to be credible. This impresses the finance officers when they assess application forms. Credible clients are found to be more punctual with regards to paying their auto loans back.
