Can I get a used car loan for a Ford Fusion with a 560 credit score and 20% down?

"I'm 19, and I want to purchase a used Ford Fusion for about $8,000. I have $1,600 to put down and make around $2,000 a month.

My biggest concern is my poor 560 credit score.

Will I get approved for this car loan? "

“If you do get approved, your interest rate is likely going to be sky-high, probably at 15% or more. If you’re prepared to pay a ton in interest, you might go ahead with the loan, although it’s not the best option.
Keep in mind that if you get a car loan, you’re also responsible for adding full-coverage
car insurance
 as a requirement of the loan. At your age, this can easily cost about $400 a month. So if you add in gas, the car note, and insurance, you’re looking at around $800 a month.
If you can’t afford this, keep saving a bit more money and find a reliable used car for around $3,000. Continue to build your credit in the meantime, and you won’t fall further into debt.”

How do you get wax out of car upholstery?
What are some ways to get wax out of car upholstery without damage? I spilled some car wax on my leather seats when I was washing my car. I don’t know how to get it off since I live in a warm place. It never seems to harden.
