    Auto Financing???

    Well, all day Friday ive been trying to get approved on this 03 z06 thats for sale. I owe 9k on my car and the dealer (small place) was gonna give me 3500 for trade in, and with 2500 down my loan would be 26k for the vette w/ the negative equity of my car in there. Its a 50th anniversary with all the add ons and it blue books for 24k wholesale and 29k retail. Well anyways the loan isnt outrageous for the situation since ill be paying off a car in the process. The problem is the run my credit and say that either that it doesnt have enough history (which doesnt make sense because I have over 4 years of payment on my car which is GOOD and a credit card still in good standing.) I do have a creditcard from Wells fargo that was written off BUT I paid it off a week ago but just hasnt got to my credit report yet, which in turn should boost my score some. My score now is 638, not great but not horrible either. I make about $2300 a month so they said income wasnt an issue as far as payments. Ive also worked at my job for jsut over 6 months and a year at my previous job so I guess thats not good enough work history. But anyways, is there not ONE PLACE THAT WILL GIVE ME THE LOAN?!?!?!?! Its not a ridiculous amount im asking for. I can more than afford it and my car payment history is good so I dont understand. Ive tried to go through Azfed, Chase, US Bank, First One bank, Desert Schools, and Sun west all with no luck. Anyone know of a place that might approve me? I have check stubs, a vehicle purchase order, kbb paper and everything ready I just need an approval. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    P.S. Or if anyone wants to cosign for me I will give them $500 cash if im approved

    Lots of banks are being stingy right now. It might be tough.

    I wonder how long/hard that will take me...Well I have a credit card I just paid off (even though it was written off) will show up as paid in full, not sure how much that will effect my score...any advice/tips on how to get my credit that high? Alls on there is 4 years of my car payment, a zales card (which is open and always paid on time) and that wells fargo card I just paid off

    What is on your credit report? Have you been late on something before?

    Actually I did check them out, if I can get a loan from anyone it will be from them, but it wont be for 26k, only 23k since thats what the wholesale value of the vette is. But If I do it might be a 3 year loan depending on which bracket I fall into via my credit score in which case payments would be to high for me. But they are my last hope but even then I need to somehow come up with another 3k on top of the 2500 I was gonna put down on it so I doubt I can come up with that kinda dough....but we will see what happens

    I have a year of my car payment from when I first got financed for my car which shows that it was never late and paid off when I refinanced through az fed.

    I have my loan through Az fed that I was late on 3 times back in 07 but thats it, been on time ever since then.

    I have a zales card that ive bought a couple things on and paid them right off so it shows that I have no late payment.

    Only bad thing was my Wells Fargo card that I had a couple years ago that eventually got written off, went to collections and I just now paid it off so it should say Paid in full when its reported to the bureau. Other than those thats all thats on my credit.

    Well plain and simple it is going to take time to improve your score. If you did get a loan now it would be at a higher rate which costs you and in the long run.
