Bad credit says on your account for 5-7 years. If you wait 3-4, then you may be able to get another car with a co-signer or with high interest. You may be lucky to get one after 2 years. The more attempts you make to inquire on your credit report to get a car, the worse it looks. You must go to a credit counselor or the credit beureau to inquire on your credit account without any negative impacts.

Certainly there are lenders that MAY give a loan to someone with bad credit, especially if there is a down payment, etc. theyalways charge a much higher interest rate, and hence the loan may not, or should not, be something you should want to encumber yourself with.

Which brings us to the real answer for "how long". You should only consider trying to get another loan after you have corrected whatever caused you to default before and have gotten your finances under control so that you can actually abide by the terms and promises you would agree to.

One day. Typically it takes the lender a week or more, usually a month before they send out the order of repossession.
