bad credit auto loan financing

poor credit auto loan?

I am trying to buy a car for around $18,900. I have a trade in worth about 11-12 thousand that i own free and clear.. I have around a 540 credit score. This will mean i need a loan 7-8 thousand. Should I expect to be able to get financing for this? with over 50 %down??? what kind of rates and terms can I expect. Also, I am on pace to make around 65k this year. I went through a forclosure almost two years ago and some bad credit cards from that time as well. that is the reason for my low credit score. let me know what i can expect to hear from the dealer or if you have any advice. thanks

the “poor” range in credit scores is 310-619. At 540 no lender will look at you without a cosigner. Even then you will have a high interest rate because of your score.
