Challenges Low Credit Car Shoppers Face
Restricted Options
Low credit scores can severely limit financing options for car buyers. Traditional lenders may be reluctant to approve loans for individuals with poor credit history due to seeing them as high-risk borrowers, leaving auto shoppers with fewer options for purchasing a vehicle.
Limited Finances
Car shoppers with low credit scores often face financial constraints that can make it difficult to afford a dependable, long-lasting vehicle. Between limited disposable income, debt or even bankruptcy, many individuals with poor credit may struggle to afford a car without a reasonable loan.
High-Interest Rates
Lenders often charge higher interest rates to compensate for the perceived increased risk of lending to individuals with low credit, which can make it harder for used car buyers to afford their monthly payments.
Rigid Loan Terms
Similarly, lenders may impose higher down payments, shorter loan terms and other strict limitations to mitigate the risk associated with lending to individuals with poor credit, which can make it challenging for buyers to find a loan that meets their needs and budget – further limiting their options.
Lemon Scams
Some shoppers can feel pressured by predatory dealerships into buying a low-quality vehicle with limited miles remaining just to have a car for the time being. These “lemons” may have hidden mechanical issues or a history of significant damage, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards that could end up costing shoppers more in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I qualify for an auto loan or financing after Chapter 7 bankruptcy? What about Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Securing an auto loan after a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be easier for car shoppers since it involves establishing an in-depth repayment plan that increases lenders’ trust in you and allows shoppers to apply for a loan even while their bankruptcy is active.
However, both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy can make securing a fair auto loan or financing challenging without an experienced and devoted auto sales team on your side who can leverage a widespread lender network on your behalf.
Should I get GAP insurance?
It depends on your chosen dealership. Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) coverage will cover the difference between the value of your car and your loan amount if the car ends up depreciating in value to the point where the vehicle is worth less than your remaining loan amount.
This is most often important with new cars, as they lose a massive amount of value in the first few years of ownership, despite little of the loan having yet been paid off. This is important if the car is totaled in a crash or stolen, and the actual claim value of the vehicle is far less than the remaining loan balance.
While GAP insurance can be beneficial if a buyer gets into a car crash and total their recent investment, it isn’t always necessary when purchasing a car from a certified pre-owned dealership like Easterns Automotive that offers premium used cars at affordable rates. We work hard to help West Baltimore car buyers get affordable rates and terms they can live with.
