Can you use a bank statement as proof of income for an auto loan?

Can I use a bank statement as proof of income? I run a business where most of my income is under the table. As a result, I don't really get pay stubs that I can use for car financing.

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Since you run your own business, you might be able to use a bank statement as
proof of income
.
If they won’t accept a bank statement only, put together a profit-and-loss sheet to show the gross and net income of your business.
This should help them decide whether to extend financing to you, especially if you’re self-employed.
Keep in mind the lender may ask for additional documents, so be sure to
come prepared
 when applying for a loan.”

Audi A5 battery location? I can’t find it!
I bought a 2018 Audi A5 a few months back. It’s been a great car so far and a lot of fun to drive. But I suspect the battery might be dying, and I want to replace it. So I went under the hood … and there isn’t a battery? What the heck? I see terminals for jumpstarting, but where exactly is the Audi A5’s battery location? Do I need to remove engine parts or something?
