Is a 652 credit score good for a car loan?

What kind of car loan rates can I get with a 652 credit score? I can only afford to buy a car that has a really low interest rate so I’m hoping I have some options.

A 652 credit score is considered Fair meaning that, unfortunately, it will be difficult to qualify for a car loan with a
good interest rate
.
However, there are some things that you can do to qualify for a better interest rate on your loan, including:
  • Making a large down payment.
  • Changing the repayment period can help you get a lower interest rate or help you spread out the payments to make them smaller.
  • Finding a cosigner
    who has excellent credit.
Remember that you’ll also have to pay a monthly insurance bill for your car. To find a better rate, check out the insurance broker app
