Credit age is a thing.
Blake Adams
so basically wait how long?
David James
You don't qualify for a first-time buyer thing?
Ryder Gutierrez
A year minimum. After one year my interest rate went from 29.9% to 4% (started from zero credit)

Welcome to the life of a millenial.

Also to add to this There is a difference between credit card credit and auto loan credit. They build and show differently
Hudson White
wow and this was accomplished how? did you just have a credit card and pay it off ontime or did you bite the bullet and take out a previous car loan at a shit rate?
Sebastian Jenkins
Started with a small auto loan of aprox $6000 Always paid on time After one year got a credit card with $1000 limit Only used for fuel Always paid off completely every month on time. Now i am buying a house. Took about 3 years to get to house buying

thats kinda me right now. i took out an auto loan in december 2016 for 8k. after all fees my balance ended up to be 15k at a 15% interest rate (i know) currently have a credit card with a 1k limit aswell thats not an authorized user, and i only spend it on gas too kek is that the apr dealers would offer you? or the banks? which banks, and what kind of loan?

Go to a credit union. My buddy got approved for a 1.5% car loan. You wont believe what happened next. The BMW dealership one upped his bank's loan and offered to finance it for 0.99%
It's a cut throat world out there. Promptly mail a bag of shit to anyone that offers you an interest rate above 2%. This is something only retards agree to
Easton Barnes
guess the only thing i have to do is wait. fuck. thanks based user, useful info.
Xavier Watson
Dealer had me at 29.9% Credit union put me at 4% after one year You need to read OPs post again

>self employed and here is the problem
Self employed here too.
Angel Nelson
why is this a problem? i mean i understand that banks frown upon self employment, but why if the income history is provable? its almost like banks are encouraging you to be a jobslave instead of having your own business.
Carter Rogers
its the three month only
seriously, either buy cash or wait a longer time to build your credit
Grayson Powell
This guy is right. I went through a credit union and got a way lower rate than elsewhere. 3.something%.
Dylan Carter
will do the latter, thanks senpai. this board is pretty based.
John Davis
Just wait out. I have a 4 year credit history and despite having been in $4,000 in debt. I payed off $2,000 and now.my rating shot up 60 points and have 790 credit rating lol. Just wait it out op.
Luis Russell
they wont finance u because your self employed income is undocumented and unverifiable to them so you make the equivalent of $0 to them. How you have 750 credit score with 3 months of credit history baffles the fuck out of me but nice. I got a 4% interest rate on a 2010 car using a co signer and I had no history, if you really make so much and your parents history is ok maybe ask them to co sign for you?

High credit scores are easy to get when you're young, it's not uncommon for people with one credit card to get to scores like yours. Also if you make 90k a year self employed you can lease the car as a company car and write it off in taxes.
