Buying a new car is exciting โ but it can also be expensive if your credit isnโt in good shape. Before you head to the dealership, take a moment to check your credit and get your financing in order.
At Kridet Solutions, we help clients get prepped for big financial moves like auto loans by repairing and building stronger credit profiles. Here’s what you need to know before signing those papers.
๐ Why Credit Matters When Youโre Buying a Car
Your credit score directly affects:
- ๐ฐ The interest rate you qualify for
- ๐ The amount you can finance
- ๐ The size of your monthly payments
- โ Whether youโll need a co-signer or large down payment
Even just a 50-point difference in your credit score could mean paying $100+ more per month for the same car. Over a 5-year loan, thatโs thousands of dollars lost to interest.
โ Common Mistakes Car Buyers Make
Many people make the mistake of:
- Letting the dealership run multiple hard inquiries
- Accepting the first financing offer
- Financing without knowing their own credit score
- Not disputing inaccuracies on their credit report beforehand
These mistakes can cost you big โ but theyโre preventable.
