Thinking about a 3rd Gen. Any ideas on financing a car this old?
Hey guys, I've got a 750 beacon score with good history to back it but I was wondering who would fund a loan on a car this old. I'm considering a 3rd Gen but I'm not quite sure where I can go to get a loan on a car this old.
I might consider a different car unless someone can think of something creative.
THANKS!

A home equity line is what a lot of people do. Also a low fixed rate credit card works, just make sure to not fall into the min payment trap.
Some banks have loan programs for "specialty cars" where they will finance the entire amount for a long period of time. They are designed for say a 10 year old Porsche that costs $40K, not many people can finance that for 24months so they have special programs for those type of vehicles. The bank I went thru would do it for any vehicle as long as it was older than 5 years and and costs $25K or more. Also, the individual had to meet certain criteria (good income, low debt ratio, excellent credit). They would also finance those cars for up to 72 months and it was only 1.5 point higher than a new car rate. Seems like they called it the "executive loan program".
BTW - the bank I went thru was Compass Bank, thier web address is www.compassweb.com I dont know if they can do loans where you are located or even if they still offer the program. They also dont really "advertise" the program.

If you do have good credit, I would use peoplefirst.com. You get pre-approved for a loan and you can use it on any car you want. 10 years old or 50 years old. They don't ask you anything about the type of car when you get the loan. (Or at least they didn't when I used them about a year ago). If you are approved for the loan amount you ask for they send you a check that you make out to whomever you need to!

If you have a chunk of cash, you could try to get a signiture loan to cover part of it. I got $5000 to fix my car up with and I was only 18, and had my job for less than a year. Oh yeah, that was through a credit union (Pen Air) Interest is higher that way though, I got 9%, the only lower I got would've been 8.5%.

My credit union gives 120% over the high price of the blue book. Dude, just walk into a CU and see. Just tell them what kind of car you want so they can pre approve you for x amount. Then once you actually find a car, you just call them up and tell them the specs and they will tell you on the spot just how much they are gonna shell out for ya.

Bay View Auto Finance Group (AFG) in California financed my car which was over 22k. Interest rates are 9.7% and they specialize in financing older cars. I'm in the process of refinancing thru one of my credit card companies for 6.6%.
