Determining Your Credit Score

Before looking to get a bad-credit car loan, you’ll want to get your credit score evaluated. Our finance team can walk you through the application process. We’ll run a credit check and dive into the numbers so you get a clear picture of where you stand. The scores can be divided up into the following ranges:

  • Excellent Credit: This score falls between 720 and 850.
  • Good Credit: Good credit lands between 690 and 719.
  • Fair Credit: Scores of 630 to 689 are considered fair credit.
  • Bad Credit: Bad credit falls below 629.

You can also talk to our finance team so they can help you craft a finance plan tailored to your case. 

Applying for a Car Loan with Bad Credit

Before you start the financing process for your next car, you’ll want to get a sense of your options. You can browse our inventory for models like the Honda Civic or Honda CR-V. Or you could find a used Honda in great condition. Once you’ve found a vehicle that’s right for you, you can begin the steps toward getting your loan.

When you arrive, our expert finance and loan managers will guide you every step of the way. They’ll cover the fine print so that you have a strong sense of the varying terms and conditions. They’ll even work with the local banks and lenders to find a loan and rate that work well for you and your lifestyle. The higher your down payment, the less you’ll have to pay each month. This can be a good move with budgeting.

FAQs

Can I finance a vehicle with less-than-perfect credit?

Yes. Many drivers qualify for financing despite having a lower credit score. Our finance specialists review your unique financial situation and work with a network of lenders to help identify financing opportunities that fit your needs.

Does applying for financing mean I'm committed to buying a vehicle?

No. Completing a finance application helps you understand your options and potential financing terms. It doesn't obligate you to purchase a vehicle.

Can a larger down payment help my financing?

A larger down payment may reduce the amount you finance, which can lower your monthly payment and, depending on lender approval, improve your financing options.
