Is a 693 credit score good for a car loan?

Can I get a good car loan if my credit score is 693, or do I need to raise it to 700? I hate taking the bus to work, but I don’t want to put myself into a ton of debt by getting a car with a low credit score.

Fortunately, a 683 credit score is considered Good, meaning it’s very likely that you’ll qualify for a decent APR on a car loan.
The average interest rate for borrowers with a 693 credit score is eight to 12%, depending on the car, lender, terms, and downpayment that you choose. If you’d like to shoot for a lower interest rate, you can try:
  • Putting a large amount down.
  • Borrowing from a credit union.
  • Opting for a shorter repayment period.
