Bad Credit Car Loan FAQ — Ontario
Can I get a car loan in Ontario with a 400 credit score?
Yes. Our lender network works with credit scores as low as 350. The interest rate will be higher, but you can still get approved and start rebuilding your credit with on-time payments.
Do I need a down payment for a bad credit car loan?
Not always. While a down payment of $500-$1,000 can improve your rate and approval odds, we have $0 down options available depending on your income and employment situation.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
No. We only run a soft inquiry when you apply through our website. This does not affect your credit score. A hard inquiry only happens when you decide to proceed with a specific lender.
How fast can I get approved?
Most applicants receive a decision the same day. Some are approved in as little as a few hours. Vehicle delivery typically happens within 3-7 days.
I went through bankruptcy in Ontario. Can I still finance a car?
Absolutely. Whether your bankruptcy is discharged or active, our lenders specialize in post-bankruptcy financing. Many of our customers are people who were turned away by other dealers.
