Auto finance companies may also take into consideration other vehicle costs such as insuring the vehicle, maintaining the vehicle, and fueling the vehicle. If the used car that you want to purchase has an affordable monthly payments but high insurance, maintenance, and fuel cost, the lender may determine that you cannot afford such a vehicle.

Consumers with a poor Fico score pay higher finance rates than consumers with Fico scores above 700. If you have a Fico score below 700 we recommend buying a car that meets your basic transportation needs. Wait until your Fico score improves before buying a more expensive automobile.

If you have a low credit score we recommend selecting with the shortest repayment term possible. This will allow you to trade out of the vehicle, and finance another car at a better interest rate, much quicker if your credit improves.

If you have negative equity, consider buying an affordable new car with a cash rebate. Many people in St. Petersburg fall into the negative equity trap by continually buying more expensive cars and rolling negative equity from their pervious car loan to the new auto loan.
