What bad credit may affect

  • The interest rate you may be offered
  • The amount of money requested upfront
  • The total amount you repay over the life of the loan
  • The vehicle choices that fit the lender’s requirements
  • Whether a co-borrower or additional documentation is requested

The goal: help you walk into the process informed, prepared, and less likely to accept a deal that does not fit your life.
