There are many lenders out there that are willing to take the risk to finance your auto loan purchase and in return, they charge you a higher interest rate.

So if you have "Bad Credit" were do you go to obtain funding? Here are a few sources:

A. Credit Unions.

If you are a member of a credit union, you will be able to apply for a larger auto loan with a more favorable interest rate than at some other institutions.

Be sure to check with your credit union to see what types of financing programs they offer "People with bad credit".

It is so much easier to obtain an auto loan through an auto dealer than by other conventional means.

This type of auto loan has competitive interest rates and is processed very quickly, and approval rates are high.

In addition, Dealer financing typically gives you more options for financing (such as longer terms for lower payments), and may offer very attractive options for extended warranties, credit life insurance, credit disability insurance, Gap protection, and much more.

C. Home Equity Loans.

By putting up your home as collateral, you will be able to obtain an auto loan. Generally this type of auto loan carries with it the potential for a higher interest rate, but on the other hand there are some tax advantages that can offset the costs incurred by the higher interest rate.

1. Short-term option.

These auto loans have higher monthly payments, but over the life of the loan you will end up paying less, and will probably also be offered a lower interest rate than that which is available with a long-term auto loan.

2. Standard-term option.

These auto loans are usually only offered with the purchase of a brand new vehicle, and typically last for a term of either 36, 48 or 60 months. This type of auto loan offers smaller monthly payments, but you will end up paying more over the life of the loan.

One problem that can arise when having a standard-term auto loan is that the value of the vehicle falls below what you actually have left to pay on the loan. This Leaves You in an "upside down situation".

3. Long-term option.

These auto loans are usually only offered for high-end vehicles (financing more than $20,000 as a minimum, but more common are amounts of over $30,000), and typically last for terms of 60 to 84 months (5 to 7 years).
