Bad Credit? Car Loans at Your Dealership May Offer Better Rates

You have two options when seeking an auto loan in the Macon area: lenders at financial institutions like a bank or credit union, or your dealership. When working directly with your dealership, you may have an easier time getting approved for financing. Your dealer may also be able to help you secure a lower interest rate.

Like many other auto dealers, Five Star Cadillac has spent years building partnerships with local lenders across Robins Air Force Base. You’ll fill out a single form, and our team will negotiate on your behalf for the best possible terms with our lending partners. At the end of the day, we’re here to help you get behind the wheel of a new or pre-owned vehicle that meets your needs!

Wondering How to Get a Car Loan with Bad Credit? Any Increase in Your Credit Score Can Help!

A bad credit score isn’t a dealbreaker. In fact, there are several things you can do when applying for a loan that can offset a low score! Make the largest down payment you can afford, and take small steps to boost your credit score. Even a small increase can help, and these simple steps could make a big difference:

  • Prioritize paying off collections accounts
  • Set up autopay to avoid missed payments
  • Reduce the portion of available credit you’re using by raising credit limits
  • Dispute anything that could be an error on your credit report
