 TITLE: Can I Buy a Car With No Money Down? CONTENT: How to Get a Car With No Down Payment and No Trade-In\n-----------------------------------------------------\nIf you don't have a down payment or a trade-in, you can still get a new car as long as you have a good credit score. (If you're not sure what your credit score is, you can get a free score to find out.)\nTo help reduce your loan costs, start by shopping around for a car loan before you ever visit a dealership. Contact at least three banks and credit unions to see what loan terms you can get. When you find a good offer, get preapproved for a loan. After you fill out a preliminary application, the lender will give you an estimate of how much money they're likely to lend you and the interest rate they will charge. Being preapproved for a car loan does not obligate you to get a loan, but it can give you more negotiating power at the dealership. END
