To learn more about how credit affects financing, just keep reading below!
Why are credit scores important in the first place?
Before we specifically get into Alfa Romeo financing, we want you to be aware of why you should care about your credit score! Your credit score is a number that is determined based on how many open accounts you have, how long you have had these accounts, how much you owe, and how on time you are with your payments toward these accounts. Credit reporting agencies then spit out a number to signal how reliable you are, which is a signal to get you the next loan you are interested in. Those with lower scores might have to deal with things like having defaulted on a loan or maybe a few missed payments. The better your activity is with your finances, the more that will be on your score.
Can I get an Alfa Romeo loan with a poor credit score?
Yes! Having a lower credit score does not mean you will be barred from the process of getting the Alfa Romeo model that you have been waiting for. In fact, our team does a great job of discussing you key ways in which you can prove to lenders that you are someone who can be trusted with this loan. One thing you can do when you have a poor credit score is to put more money down toward your Alfa Romeo, whether it be a Tonale or a Stelvio. The more money you put down, the less you have to loan! You may also want to consider buying used, as these are usually priced lower, which could make more sense for your budget. Finally, bring someone along who is willing to co-sign a loan with you! They should be a person with a great credit score, and be willing to potentially pay the loan if you, for some reason, end up being unable to.
Am I able to raise my credit score before I take out an Alfa Romeo car loan?
Now that you understand why credit scores are so important for financing, you’re likely wondering what you may be able to do to raise your credit score! It’s important to state that this is something that will not happen overnight, but after a few months, you should be able to see a noticeable shift upward in your score. Perhaps the biggest thing you can do is not only make sure you are on time with your payments, but also try to make sure you are paying down any loans you have as much as you conceivably can. You may also want to lower your credit usage, so you simply don’t have as much outstanding debt that is owed. Our finance team here at Alfa Romeo of Memphis will be here to answer any questions you have, and ensure that you feel confident when the time comes to make your decision with us!
