What are you planning on doing with the old car? Giving it back? The bank/lender won't take it back. Banks never do, and if it's a car dealership they will buy the car back from you at a very low price (i.e. black/bluebook price). I mean low compared to what you could sell the car for privately, with luck and patience and a good strategy.

Then you take that money and pay off your loan. You need to make sure you notify the company you owe the money to, because they legally own the vehicle (title). Assuming that you're not out a few thousand at this point, or that you still want to go on with this, you go and buy another car, just like you had never had the first one (so DEFINITELY credit check and down payment is an option, but with some loans you don't HAVE to). Wether this is all done at the same car dealership, through the same financing company, etc really has no relevance (it doesn't help at all)


So what I am trying to say is that if what you want is another car, try to sell yours first privately; browse the internet for used ones and check the black/blue book price to see if it makes sense to you.


Good luck!


p.s. in regards to the credit check, they WILL check it for sure, and depending on your situation, having had a car loan and having paid it off typically, and I mean typically, speaks well of you on your report.

Get A Credit Card Without Credit?

You still can own a credit card without credit or a poor credit score. Many companies will offer you a prepaid credit card. Simply make a deposit to the credit card company and begin charging on your new credit card up to the amount of your downpayment. Pay your balance like you normally would as with any regular credit card. In most cases, the credit card company will refund your downpayment after you have been in good standing for a certain period of time. You will continue to charge on your card, but it is now an unsecured line of credit.

How can you get help with a downpayment when your credit score is 600 or lower?

What do you need the downpayment for? If it's for a mortgage on a house, then most states/counties have downpayment assistance for people. Search for it on Google, or I guess you can look it up in the yellow pages. If you want to search for it put "downpayment assistance" (with the quotations) in the search box and then put the name of your city, and press search. Then go back and try it with your county name. They have a lot of programs out there.
