people get cars with out down payments and w/ shytty credit all the time, actually salesmen like this more because they can add points to the rate and make much more money off you, they do not care if you pay the loan or not that has no effect on them. I feel like you just walked in there with some preconceived notion and went about making sure it came true
This is by far the worst post ive ever seen regarding purchasing a car
1. Car dealerships like people with better credit, because the lower the interest rate (because of good credit) gives more room for negiotating your monthly price and them still making good money on the front (sales person) and back end (finance person). Dealerships only get paid off 2 points. If you only get approved for 20% how the fukk the dealership gonna get paid off you financing the car for 20%?? They cant tell the bank to give you 18%...
But if you got approved for 3%, they can start at 8% and go down from there without touching the CAR PRICE but adjusting the INTEREST rate to lower the payment to what you want.
2. Bad credit = bank deal. What that means is that if the car is $14,000, but you have fukked up credit, the bank WILL do the DEAL but wont ACCEPT the $14,000 deal from the dealership. Instead they will only approve your deal for say... $8000. So now the dealership makes little to no money off you (depending on what they got the used car for, let alone a new car which you wont get approved for period if you have bad credit)
3. Down payment = lower monthly payment and more room for the dealership to make money through negotiating. You having no down payment, means they have no where to go but down as far as profit.
just stop posting in this thread... i literally almost fell out my chair reading your horrible advice/post.
also fukk the original poster for wasting someones time knowin you aint shyt..
