What credit score is needed to finance a used car?
There is no single score that applies to every lender or applicant. Decisions may also consider income, down payment, vehicle selection and overall application strength.

Car Financing Options for Challenged Credit
Credit problems can happen for many reasons. Medical bills, job loss, divorce, late payments, high balances or a previous repossession can all affect a credit score. However, a lower score does not automatically mean you should avoid applying for a vehicle.
