I’m sorry to hear that happened, but I’m glad you bounced back! I have some good news for you: you can still get a loan with a repossession in your history.
The longer you wait to get a loan after your repossession, the easier it is to get a loan. That said, there’s nothing legally holding you back from getting a loan now.
It’s very important to shop around and find the best deal for it though because lenders typically won’t give good rates to people with things like a repossession in their history. You can help get lower rates by doing the following:
If you do end up getting a car loan with higher rates than you’d like, you can refinance your loan to get lower rates as your financial situation improves.
