Purchasing a car with not the best credit can be stressful and discouraging. You may think you don't have a lot of options, but the truth is you have options. It's very possible to get a car loan with bad credit, and if you have a big down payment it'll take off a big chunk of what you owe immediately, which will make it easier to obtain a loan. So, how much down payment for a car with bad credit should I expect? Give us a call we can definitely help. Stop by New Phase Motors, one of the go-to bad credit car dealerships in the Philadelphia area.

What's the average Down Payment for a Car with Bad or No Credit?
Usually, financial institutions that lend to borrowers with bad credit, such as various banks and credit unions, require a down payment of at least 10% or $1,000 — whichever of the two is greater. If you’re able to make a larger down payment, however, it’ll make life easier for you down the road. In addition to lowering your monthly payments, it’ll reflect well on your credit report. Buying a car with bad credit but a large down payment is possible and can help you boost your credit score for when you’re ready to buy another car, a house, etc.
