Is it possible to get a car loan with bad credit?!

I have been making my cedit better, but from college years, and a few screw ups, my credit is not ideall...

But I need a new car bad & I don't know what to do....

Would they just give me a super high interest rate? Would they combine me & DH & do it that way?

I have never bought a car, I am still driving one my parents bought me used like 10 years ago....

Yes it's possible to get a car loan with bad credit, you would just get a really high interest loan.

Is it possible to have a parent codify a loan for you?

We're in the process of buying a car now, and playing around with the numbers we found that the difference between a 3% interest rate (better than average) and an 8% interest rate (terrible) is about $30 a month. That's for us, because we're putting half down. But it shows that even if you get a terrible interest rate, you'll probably be able to afford a new car (maybe just with fewer options if you want to keep it at the same price per month).

When we went to buy our car in 2009 the finance department had us put more money down since DHs credit score was bad. It also helped that I had a good credit score.

Good Luck.
