You can definitely get a car loan
with a 765 credit score. According to credit bureau TransUnion, the average credit score is 679. This puts you well above the national average, providing you with better interest rates and a much higher chance of car loan approval. But even with a 765 credit score, lenders also look at your overall application profile, including:
Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which measures your monthly debt payments against your monthly pre-tax income (this should be 43% or less, ideally)
If you have a borderline DTI ratio or only a small amount for a down payment, don’t stress. Shop around for preapproval to find what lenders will work with you and what they’re willing to offer in terms of interest rates.
If you decide to take out a car loan, don’t forget about your car insurance. Lenders require you to have full coverage car insurance, which can get expensive if you don’t shop around. That’s when Jerry
