When you have bad credit you need to decide what you will use as collateral (security for your car loan). The lender will want some guarantee for getting their money back and so you must prove your worth with collateral. Try to choose collateral that has a higher value than your loan. For example your home, you can put a lien or 2nd mortgage on your house for collateral.

Once you have got the car loan you will be able to build and reestablish your credit.  By borrowing a small amount you can easily pay back. Once you have paid back a small amount lenders will look favorably on further business transactions

The worst problem you have with bad credit is the fact that even if you get a car loan you will still be paying high rates. However with careful research and comparison-shopping you can reduce the rates significantly. Typically you are looking at a 2-5 year borrowing period.
