Financing an FD...

Financing an FD...
I dont know if this is the right place for this, but i didnt know where else to put it.
does anyone know if there are any companies that would finance a 3rd gen?
Most places wont finance anything over 6 years old. I have the money to pay cash for one but i wont. i want a reserve in case of an emergency.
also i dont want a stupid high interest rate.
i know there are classic car financing companies but i dont think this will fall into that category.
any positive help is appreciated.

After the financial implosion, loans for these types of cars became almost impossible to come by.
Up to 2008 or so it was easy to get financing for these cars (I suspect previous posters got their loans in this time frame).
Now, you may have to get a personal loan (if your credit is good enough) but you will likely pay a nasty interest rate.

You could also purchase a CD and use that as collateral..tying your money up for the length of the CD (but some are fairly short term)

I guess some banks are more strict than others when it comes to financing old cars. But as long as the car has good value, my credit union will finance it up to the KBB value.

I used Capital One Auto Finance to finance my FD 5 years ago. At that time, they didn't care about the year of the vehicle as long as the mileage was under 80,000 (or somewhere around there). However, they might have tightened up their requirements since then.

I financed my FD (now paid off) in '04 with Capital One. But, last time I checked their rates sucked bad. Rates buying from a certified used car dealer were so-so, but person-to-person rates were HORRIBLE.
It will be tricky, most banks don't do loans for cars more than 10 years old. You'd have to arrange some other type of financing, which may have a high rate, or self-finance.

My credit union financed mine just fine, although I had to get creative because I bought it from CA, and they wouldn't finance an out of state car, and I only had to finance part of the purchase price. Year and mileage were still good, the rates just change depending on what car it is. Don't remember the year limit, but mileage was something in the 150k neighborhood. Although as previously stated this was back in '08.

When?
it was like a 9 yr old car, im now looking at a 15ish year old car.
whats ur monthly income?
I have financed two different FD's since 2008 using my local credit union. I am 22 with good credit, so its not like i have gobs of credit history or have an awesome credit score, and have never had a problem with financing cars that are older. Granted, the interest rate is nothing to brag about, right around 7% i think....

we're still looking for cars. I don't think any marriage questions came up; however, she did the loan herself - so I wouldn't know.
You should just go ahead and apply for a capital one. They're non-binding. (Meaning you don't have to use it)

If you are looking to buy a modified FD, and the price tag is higher than KBB, you can also get it appraised so that you can get a loan for the full price tag. I'm not sure if this works for big banks, but if you have a local community bank it should work (big banks like bank of america have strict rules for giving out loans based on NADA or KBB and can't be flexible even if they want to).
If this is the case, www.speedforsale.com (Jeremy Blackwell) can do an appraisal, he is nationally certified, and has a very quick turn around time. I can't rememer exactly how much it costs, I think $200. But its worth it, because you can then use the appraisal for insurance reasons so if your car is totalled you get the value of all of the modifications and everything.

Allrotor is right, i have more than enough but i dont want to spend it on a toy. because if something comes up i want the savings. and as far as never buying something you cant afford, i would agree to an extent, homes and cars are the only thing i finance.
that is true, right now i have my laptop financed to build my credit. it 0% for 18 months, i will have it payed in prolly 10. i have more than enough but 0% is like building my credit for free.
thanks thats good info but i want one that is bone stock
