A little knowledge goes a long way. Here's what we tell every first-time applicant.
You don't need perfect credit to qualify. Lenders look at your overall picture, not just a number. Checking your own score doesn't hurt it.
Even a small down payment can improve your loan terms. It reduces the amount you need to borrow and signals commitment to lenders.
Consistent income — whether employed, self-employed, or on a pension — shows lenders you can manage regular payments.
A lower monthly payment with a longer term can mean paying more interest overall. Ask us to explain the full picture before you sign.
These are representative examples of the types of experiences our clients have.
"I had a bankruptcy on my record and assumed no one would finance a car for me. The team walked me through my options and I was driving within a few weeks. Couldn't believe how straightforward it was."
"As a newcomer to Canada, I didn't have a credit history here. CarFinance 101 found a lender who understood my situation and approved me for a reliable sedan. The process was explained clearly every step of the way."
"I was self-employed and had trouble getting a loan through my bank. The advisor here was patient, explained what lenders needed to see, and got me matched quickly. Highly recommend for anyone in a similar situation."
