You CAN get a decent car loan, even with bad credit. I've done it, but you'll have to look around. That's one of the BIG mistakes people make...just taking the first offer that's given to them when they go to the dealer. Be smarter than that.

WARNING: DON'T GO TO BUY A CAR WITHOUT HAVING THE LOAN FIRST. The auto dealers will eat you alive and give you a crappy rate. Shop around with lenders who specialize in bad credit car loans. It's a better option, you don't have to take what they're offering if you don't want it, and it's better than dealing with the car dealer's people.

There are usually some nationally based car loan companies who specialize in bad credit car loans.

When does the bank require a cosigner?

The banks want to know that they will get the money that they are owed back. Too many people today fail to pay back loans for a variety of reasons, both honest and dishonest. If you do not have an established, suitable credit history, a bank has no way of knowing if you are a good credit risk (reliable in paying your debts). By having a cosigner with the appropriately established credit history, if you fail to pay the loan, they can make the cosigner pay the loan. That is what the cosigner is singing for, to pay back the loan if you fail to do so. If you loaned money you would want to make sure you got money back, wouldn't you?

When is co signer required to take over student loan payments?

The co-signer is fully responsible for paying the loan and, therefore, they should take over the payments immediately to prevent damage to their own credit record.Cosigners should make certain they know what their obligations are before they sign. A person who has poor credit or no credit record needs a cosigner when they borrow money. A cosigner is a person who accepts the responsibility of repayment of a loan along with the primary borrower. The lender requires a cosigner to increase the chances that it will be repaid. The cosigner is sometimes referred to as the guarantor because they guarantee the full repayment of the loan in the event the borrower defaults. The cosigned loan will appear as a debt on the cosigners credit record.The co-signer is fully responsible for paying the loan and, therefore, they should take over the payments immediately to prevent damage to their own credit record.Cosigners should make certain they know what their obligations are before they sign.

Does it help to have a co signer for an auto loan if you have bad credit?

If you have bed credit, sometimes having a cosigner is the only way you can get an auto loan. The people who lend you the money so you can purchase the car want their money back with interest. If you have bad credit, they may think you will not pay them back. They may think your cosigner does not want his credit ruined and will pay them back. So, while they would not give you an auto loan, they would give you an auto loan with a cosigner who has good credit.
