We know it can be nerve-wracking to need a new car when your credit isn’t where you want it to be. However, we work with buyers on all levels at Gullo Mazda of Conroe and can even help buyers with bad credit secure Mazda financing. When you’re shopping with bad credit, we suggest considering a pre-owned vehicle.
Why Shop Used?
When you have a limited budget, you may feel restricted by the options available when shopping for a new vehicle. However, so many used cars are available in virtually every price range. This can help ensure you get into the vehicle you need, with the features and amenities you want.
Why is a Used Car Better for Bad Credit?
Securing a loan for a cheaper vehicle can be easier when you have bad credit. Plus, a more affordable car will have lower payments, making them easier for you to manage. Typically, bad credit will result in a higher interest rate, so a more affordable vehicle can also help offset the extra cost of interest.
How Can I Improve My Chances of Getting Approved?
We have trusted relationships with many lenders who work with buyers of all credit levels. This can help improve your odds of getting a vehicle since we can help match you with a lender that meets your needs. There are also a few things that you can do to help increase your odds of getting approved.
- Make a sizable down payment
- Opt for a shorter loan term
- Consider a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle
- Look for a low-mileage used vehicle
- Add a co-signer
