What factors determine auto loan approval?
Auto loan approval depends on factors such as credit history, income, debt-to-income ratio, down payment amount, and the vehicle's value.
What is the difference between a down payment and a trade-in?
A down payment is an upfront payment toward the purchase price of the vehicle, while a trade-in involves exchanging your current vehicle for credit toward purchasing a new one. We always recommend trading in with a dealer, as it helps you save not only on your downpayment but also on the taxes and fees associated with the purchase.
Can I get auto financing with bad credit?
Yes! It's possible to get auto financing with bad credit, even if you face higher interest rates and stricter approval criteria. But not to worry! At Maddigan, we have longstanding relationships with lenders specializing in working with individuals with poor credit.
Can I refinance my auto loan?
Yes, you can refinance your auto loan to potentially lower your interest rate, monthly payments, or loan term. Refinancing may be beneficial if interest rates have dropped since you initially obtained the loan or if your credit score has improved.
How can auto-financing improve my credit score?
Financing a vehicle is a great way to build your credit. Whether you’re new to the world of credit or have a low score, having affordable payments that you pay off regularly and on time can really help it improve.
What do I need to apply for a car loan?

Down payment, if any (cash is preferred, but some places allow credit cards)
