Since some of you guys have actually bought cars that cost more than like 3k, what is a credit score that would allow someone to buy a car at 0% like is advertised often? Im trying to buy a truck but they cost a fuck ton but if I can finance at a low enough rate I wont have to worry all to much. Any help would be great.
Why are you trying to buy a car you can't afford?

A great credit score won't help if the loan will push your debt to income ratio through the roof.
Well the thing isnt that I cant afford it, I just dont want to spend more than a set amount. I mean you dont go out and buy a mustang and just pay whatever they want you to do you? Im trying to keep my payments within a certain range.

This, also it's not just debt it's estimated expenses. The computer creates an estimate of your monthly expenses. Based on that you are assigned a risk level. When I bought my last new car I took 84 months at 0.99% paid it off in 48 months. As long as it's not interested heavy in the beginning it made sense for me

Just get a nice used truck for 10k. You should be putting at least that much down.

first off, that's usually either a really short term loan, or an introductory rate that they jack up after the first 18 months. it's also usually limited to one or two specific vehicles they have on the lot.
if you're worried about interest, a financed vehicle may not be a good idea for you right now

alright guys, Ill look into a smaller suv rather a truck. I can easily afford an suv but I guess a truck might still be out of the picture.

how much do you have left over each month? or how much is your car payment right now if you have one. do you know your credit score? how much cash do you have for a down payment?

after all my bills and such about 1k. I want to keep payments at around 400. No car payments at all which is nice. I can put down like 4-5k. my credit score is around 750

0% isn't really 0%. They jack up the amount they charge you to finance and throw it on to the balance of what you owe.
