Currently I've come into a stuck situation where I'm having some difficulty obtaining a car loan. I have bad credit due to several past layoffs, and I'm now working on recovering from that. I'm wanting to purchase a used truck for about $13,000 and I already have about $7000 saved for a down payment. I make a good steady salary now ($70k/yr) and I could probably get the difference paid off in a matter of months. However, I can't get banks or credit unions to finance me (they all but laughed at me when I applied) and I'd really rather not go with one of those rinky-dink operations that require a 60 month loan at 25% on their car lots only.
I don't mind paying the higher interest rate as I'm expecting this, and the vehicle I'm looking at is from a private person and not a dealership, so I have to obtain financing myself. Does anyone have any ideas to finance something for a shorter term, maybe 12-24 months for $4000-6000?
Any ideas?? Serious answers only please.
