Dream Cars Credit Austin Used Car Financing Process

1. How much is the minimum down payment?
   Down payments typically range from $500 to 20% of the sales price. Some of our lowest risk customers qualify for $0 down payments, but some high risk customers may have higher down payments - especially on more expensive vehicles.
2. What will the interest rate be?
   Interest rates vary according to the risk rating that our lenders assign to each customer. Rates can be as low as 4.9% up to the State Maximum for the year model being sold.
3. If I have a recent bankruptcy or a poor credit history will I be denied a loan?
   No, absolutely not. A bad credit report, history or score will not affect your ability to get approved with us. If you have a poor credit history, keep in mind that down payments will likely be lower for lower priced cars.
4. If I have one or more car loans open, will I still be approved?
   Yes, but depending on income, some lenders like to see one car loan per person.
