 TITLE: How to Qualify for a Car Loan CONTENT: Qualifying for a Car Loan With Bad Credit\n-----------------------------------------\nYou don't need good credit to get a car loan. In fact, there are several auto lenders that specialize in working with borrowers with bad credit.\nTo get an auto loan with bad credit, take your time shopping around to find lenders that offer preapproval and can give you relatively decent terms. Also, try to have a good down payment or trade-in value to help reduce the amount you need to borrow.\nFinally, consider getting a cosigner who has great credit and can help you qualify for a better auto loan. Just keep in mind that your cosigner is equally responsible for paying off the loan if you default, so it can ruin both your credit histories if you're not careful. END
