Clean Up Your Credit Report Before Applying For A Loan
Your official credit score is a summary of your ability to take care of your credit payments. It's a snapshot of your precise standing at the moment of query. Your credit report, on the other hand, is a full summary of your history as a consumer and reliable debtor. Every time you run a credit check can negatively affect your credit score. Try to get a copy of your credit report and bring it to the dealer when you visit. Your credit score can go from 300 to 850.. A rating under 620 is classified as a “subprime score”. The minimum credit score needed for leasing most vehicles is 700, on average.
Put Money Aside for a Bigger Down Payment
Down payments are a strong factor for leasing companies when they figure out your options. Generally speaking, those with excellent credit will qualify for a no money down car lease. However, for those with less than perfect credit, the option for putting up a large down payment can significantly improve your ability to get a reasonable lease.
Prove a Consistent Income
What about weak credit when you don't have a cosigner? You should show proof of your steady salary, copies of pay stubs and evidence of a salary that is more than capable of taking care of your regular monthly expenses. Demonstrate that you're working to improve your weak credit score, and even include professional and or personal references if possible. Verification of prior leases you have had with exceptional payment history may also help.
Know Your Budget
Determine how much you can afford to pay per month based on your budget. Decide on a realistic amount, not something based on the vehicle you want. Be honest about what kind of car you should buy, and don't get more than you need.
