Can I get a car loan with a credit score of 607?

I’m looking to buy a car soon, but my credit score recently took a beating. I’m worried I won’t get a good car loan now that my score is 607. Can I get a car loan with bad credit?

Credit scores can be such a hassle! Don’t worry too much, though—you can totally find a decent car loan with a score of 607.
A 607 credit score is considered nonprime, so you can expect your car loan’s APR to be somewhere between 6.32% and 9.77%. Lenders reserve the best rates for applicants with credit scores of 661 and above.
Your loan terms and interest rates will vary depending on whether you get your loan through a dealership, credit union, bank, or online lender, as well. That’s why it’s a wise idea to shop around for pre-approval from several lenders to get an idea of which one is right for you.
Interest rates will also fluctuate depending on your loan type, loan length, and whether you get a new or used car. Longer car loans will typically come with lower rates, but be sure to calculate the total amount you’ll have spent at the end of your loan term to figure out how much you’re actually going to pay.
Getting a co-signer on your loan may lower your APR. As would raising your
