Yes, Dick Says Yes works with customers who have no credit history or are buying a vehicle for the first time.

The amount needed for a down payment can vary based on your credit, income, vehicle choice, and overall financing situation.

Yes, a car loan can help rebuild your credit when payments are made on time. Auto loans are reported to credit bureaus, so consistent, on-time payments may show lenders that you are managing credit responsibly. The key is choosing a vehicle and payment that fits your budget from the start.

There is no single credit score that guarantees approval. At Dick Says Yes, we work with customers in many different credit situations, including bad credit, no credit, and past credit challenges. Your credit score is only one part of the approval process. Income, down payment, job history, and overall budget can also play a role.

Not always, but it is important to understand what you are signing up for. Some Buy Here Pay Here dealerships may offer quick approvals, but they can also come with higher payments, limited vehicle options, and less flexibility.

Yes, it may still be possible to get approved after a repossession or bankruptcy. These situations can make financing more challenging, but they do not automatically mean you are out of options.

In many cases, you can get a decision very quickly. Once we have your application and basic information, our team can start reviewing your options right away. The exact timing depends on your situation, but we work hard to make the process simple, fast, and stress-free.

Yes, income is an important part of the approval process. Lenders want to make sure your vehicle payment fits comfortably within your budget. Having steady income can help improve your chances of approval, even if your credit is not perfect.

Yes, being self-employed does not automatically prevent you from getting financed. You may just need to provide proof of income, such as bank statements, tax documents, or other records that show consistent earnings. Our team can help you understand what information may be needed.

Applying for financing may result in a credit inquiry, which can have a small impact on your credit score. However, shopping for an auto loan within a short period is often treated differently than applying for several unrelated types of credit. More importantly, making your payments on time after you purchase a vehicle can help you build stronger credit over time.

A cosigner can be helpful, especially if you have limited credit history, lower credit, or income challenges. A strong cosigner may improve your chances of approval or help you qualify for better loan terms. Just remember, the cosigner is also responsible for the loan if payments are missed, so it is important for both people to understand the commitment.
