A lot of different men and women have the belief that not having any credit means that they will not be able to obtain the financing that they need in order to purchase a vehicle.

Once you find a dealership that is willing to work with you, you will be able to look for a car that you want from that dealership.

Can a car dealership cash your check that was used for down payment if you were never approved for financing?

A check given to the dealership will be cashed. This is normal in business. Whether they can keep the money or have to return it is based on what your purchase agreement reads. Where I live if the purchase agreement has "Subject to financing" on it the down payment must be returned if the dealer can not get you financing and you can't get outside financing. If it does not have that in it they get to keep the money.

Is there any advantages to buying a car locally versus at a dealership?

Based on my personal experience, I believe a person shopping for a car should consider the dealership over the local dealer. The dealership has better resources, choices, and sales, therefore can take a smaller margin of profit. The dealership can offer greater incentives and rebate money. The local dealer may tell untruths and may have to mark up his vehicle prices to stay in business. He cannot offer as many options due to a limited inventory.
