If we are reading the Manheim report correctly, despite the fact that the used car market is stronger, those vehicles most appropriate to borrowers with poor credit are, at least at this point in the year, more affordable than they were last year. So if you find yourself in this position, now might be a good time to make your move.

Not all borrowers with problem credit will be given the option of financing a new car, but if they are and it's through one of the franchises listed above, they probably wouldn't go wrong choosing any one of these cool cars.

Kelley Blue Book’s latest list of Best New Car Deals, this time listing deals for February, 2016, contains 2 vehicles that very well might work for buyers with tarnished credit.

Here at Auto Credit Express, we know that the short answer is “yes”. But be careful if you still owe money on it and are “upside down”…

If you're purchasing a used car, especially if it's part of your efforts at repairing bad credit, you owe it to yourself to check for any open recalls as well as have it thoroughly inspected before taking delivery.

Having a vehicle repossessed is never a good thing. In fact, having one appear on a credit is one of the worst things that can happen to any borrower. But it is especially bad if the auto loan in question belongs to a consumer with problem credit.

Borrowers having problems paying their car loans should call the lender and explain their situation. Not only is repossession is a black mark on their credit reports – often preventing them from getting a car loan for at least a year, it could end up costing them hundreds if not thousands of dollars in taxes owed to the government.

Vehicle repossession is never a good thing and a black mark like this can linger on a credit report for seven years or longer. Multiple repossessions are even worse and, for the most part, consumers must wait until just one appears in their credit file.

For those unfamiliar with what the phrase buy here pay here means, it refers to a car dealer where you can not only purchase a car, but a dealership where you can finance it, right there, as well. In this case financing is arranged with money that is borrowed from the dealer instead of a bank, credit union or finance company.

In most cases, consumers who have had a vehicle repossessed will need to wait at least a year until they can expect to get approved for a car loan with a subprime lender. While there are exceptions to this rule and buyers should still give it a try, the number of lenders willing to do this is so small that most borrowers should be prepared for a high interest rate and with the large down payment BHPH dealers will require, if they need a vehicle right away.
