Mercedes Finance 101: Getting Approved
Getting approved depends on your credit score. Before coming in to finance a new car, you should learn your credit score. A good credit score is around 720, but the higher the better. If it’s lower than 720, don’t panic! There are still several things you can do to help get approved.
The first thing you can do is make a large down payment. A large down payment means that you don’t have to borrow as much money to pay for your vehicle. This also means that you won’t have to make as large of monthly payments.
The next thing you can do is trade in your old vehicle. If you no longer owe money on your current vehicle, trading it in can be a big boost to the down payment for your next car.
You can also have a co-signer. A cosigner is somebody you know with a higher credit score who will sign onto the vehicle with you. If you stop making payments, the cosigner will take over your payments. Typically, it’s a friend or family member that cosigns on a vehicle.
