Let’s clear up some questions you may have about financing a vehicle with poor credit. Here are some frequently asked questions.




Q: Can I finance a car if I have bad credit?

A: At Legacy CDJR, the answer is yes! Our team has helped many different drivers from Florence and beyond finance a quality vehicle despite credit challenges, and we’re committed to helping you, too. Explore your options with one of our finance experts today!


Q: How can I start the pre-approval process online?

A: Legacy CDJR makes it easy to get pre-approved! To get started, all you have to do is complete our four-step secure online finance application whenever you’re ready. Then our team will reach out with options tailored to you.


Q: Does applying for financing impact my credit score?

A: It can. When you apply for a car loan, a hard credit check is run. This can result in a minor drop in your credit score, but the good news is that it should only be temporary.


Q: Should I buy a new or used car with bad credit?

A: Legacy CDJR can offer financing for new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models and used cars, trucks, and SUVs. Everyone’s situation is different, so talk to one of our finance experts about your specific situation to see what makes the most sense for you. We’re here to help!


Q: Can financing a vehicle help rebuild my credit?

A: Yes! Financing a vehicle can significantly help you rebuild your credit. As you keep up with your monthly payments, you can expect your credit score to gradually improve.


Q: Do I need a down payment for bad credit financing?

A: You may have to make a down payment if you have bad credit. Even if it’s optional, though, making a significant down payment can help reduce the amount you’ll have to pay back and help position you as being more dependable.


Q: Do I need a cosigner in order to get approved for a car loan with bad credit?

A: Not always. However, if someone you know is willing to be a cosigner, this can boost your chances of approval and help lower your interest rate.


Q: Will my monthly payments be higher if I have bad credit?

A: Bad credit might mean higher monthly payments, but you can count on our team to find an affordable payment plan that suits your situation. Feel free to use our payment calculator to estimate your monthly payment or calculate your buying power today!


Q: Is there a way I can make getting approved with bad credit more likely?

A: While we’re confident you’ll get approved here at Legacy CDJR regardless of bad credit, there are ways you can help set yourself up for success. These include providing as much of a down payment as you’re comfortable with and securing a cosigner.


Q: What if I’ve been denied a car loan in the past?

A: Don’t let getting denied in the past stop you from applying for financing. Our goal is to get you approved today! Our experienced team is ready to explore all available options to help you secure manageable financing so you can upgrade to the car you need.
