 TITLE: What Is the Difference Between a Prime Loan and a Subprime Loan? CONTENT: How to Get a Subprime Loan\n--------------------------\nLenders have different definitions of subprime borrowers, so checking your credit score won't give you a definitive answer on where you stand, but it will give you a good idea. If your credit score falls at the high end of the subprime range, you may get better loan terms by delaying your loan application a bit while you work to improve your credit score. (More on that later.)\nIf you're solidly in the subprime category, follow these steps to get the best subprime loan for you. END
