Can you finance two cars at once?

Is it possible to have multiple car loans at the same time? I’m already paying for the loan on my own car, but I want to get my son a car for his high school graduation. That would mean taking out a second car loan. Can I finance two cars at once?

Getting your son a car is such a sweet graduation present idea. Luckily, you can finance
two cars at once
if you want! However, you’ll have a much more difficult time finding affordable rates on the second loan.
This is because the existing loan changes your debt-to-income ratio dramatically, so lenders typically won’t approve you unless your income can afford the extra expense each month. You’ll also need an excellent credit score in order to get a good interest rate.
Keep in mind that you’ll also need to purchase car insurance for your son’s vehicle. The
