We are often asked by residents of Fort Worth why they shouldn′t just jump in their current vehicle and drive by all of the Fort Worth tote the note car dealerships to shop for a car instead of filling out our tote the note auto loan application. This answer to this question really depends on your credit history and your FICO score.
If you have a credit score over 640 or more and a fairly extensive credit history, you should be able to purchase a vehicle with a traditional prime or near-prime auto loan. But even if this is the case, you should still do some research on the internet. As an example, Consumer Reports has an excellent web site (www.consumerreports.org) that enables you to view the repair histories of most cars, so that you can see how the vehicle you′re interested in compares with the other cars or trucks in its class (provided you have a subscription).
If you have less than perfect credit, however, you may want to hold off driving around Fort Worth. Here′s why: the Fort Worth Tote The Note Dealer buying process is much different. And just as the bad credit buying process is different, so is the dealer that can help you with a bad credit car loan.
The fact is many tote the note dealerships in Fort Worth choose not to deal with subprime lenders. Subprime loans require more effort than regular loans in the sense that dealers are responsible for more documentation and for making sure that the documentation is correct as well as verifiable. If anything goes wrong in the documentation process, the contract is sent back to the dealer and the dealer holds the contract for the car. This means the dealer must collect the monthly payments from the customer and tote the note dealers in Fort Worth don′t want to do this.
As a tote the note buyer, it′s important to realize that just because a dealer happens to sell cars does not mean that dealer has the right kind of cars. A Fort Worth tote the note dealer′s new and used car inventory also has to be adjusted for subprime lending. Vehicles in inventory have to meet lender guidelines in terms of mileage and year. The used cars also need to be purchased at or below Kelley Blue Book wholesale, since subprime lenders base their "advance" (how much they will finance) on these figures. New cars also have to be within a certain price range, since bad credit lenders that do business in Fort Worth are very strict about keeping your car payment within a budget range. Without the correct inventory, the dealer can′t sell any of the cars on the lot to subprime customers.
In addition to documentation and inventory issues, there is the large number of subprime lenders licensed to do business in Texas as well as the complexity involved with understanding the varying programs that they offer. Most subprime lenders have at least five "tiered" programs and each program can have its own set of requirements. Without a knowledgeable special finance department, keeping track of the lenders and programs is impossible.
