Can you get an auto loan even if you have bad credit?

Yes.

If your credit is not as good as you would like, there are a few options available to you:

* Ask someone to co-sign the loan (preferably someone with a good credit record)

* Put more money down (reduces the amount of the loan)

* Use a specialized lender that caters to people having less-than-stellar credit (e.g., Auto Credit Express)

* Use an integrated auto seller who sells the car AND offers their own financing plans (not through a third-party financial institution)
