There is a reason that most people with bad credit have bad credit... normally it has a lot to do with making poor decisions.

I see people like this all the time, doesn't even surprise me anymore, I work with a guy whose sister had a car (pt cruiser) at 27.95% apr from some buy here pay here place. Luckily for her, the insurance company dropped her after her... 4th accident and some other tickets so there is no more need for a car.

Never had an accident, but I have made some poor decisions almost 10 years ago, and my credit is drastically better than it was. It's not perfect, but I've never had an apr higher than my current 10.39. My BMW is currently at 8.5, and my last car before that was around 7-8% as well.

The main reason my payments are so high on my BRZ is because of all the extras I chose to add to take it above and beyond MSRP. Had I not, I'd be looking at payments around 300/month or so, if not less.

I'm glad that I work part time in the banking industry at my early age (right after high school) and I know a few important life-credit lesson.
1) Never pay minimum only for credit card
2) Always pay on time (I've seen ppl paid late charges near ten grand)
3) never withdraw cash using your credit card.
4) spend only when you can pay for it

Good to know this. I did Subaru credit a while back when I bought my Impreza Outback.

Maybe I'll do this again since it is brand new. Last time I checked, my credit is over 700 so shouldn't be too bad.

I hope this is true. Picking up the BRZ next week. Hopefully by Friday the 8th.

Should need 720+ I'd guess, not sure what Chase sets their levels at.

Yea my dealer told me to wait about a week before my ETA on the 15th to fill our a credit app so they can see what they can get. I'm wondering of he knows about the June 1st BRZ rates.

3.29% with Subaru finance. Credit took a big hit with 2 car loan apps in 1 year. Good reality check tbh. Financed 20.5k with payments of 315 a month over 72 months.

I think I'm going to make a goal of shedding $7k off that before I start modding. Time to tighten the belt for a bit.

How detailed is the credit application?
