Worried About Buying Your First Car?

If you’re thinking: 

  • “Can I even get approved with no credit?” 
  • “What documents will I need?” 
  • “Will my payments be affordable?” 

You’re not alone. Many first-time buyers worry about the same things. That’s why our First Time Buyer Program was built to make the process simple, clear, and stress-free.

How Our First Time Buyer Program Works

We’ve made it as easy as possible for new buyers: 

  1. Soft Credit Check – We can check your score without lowering it. 
  2. Custom Loan Options – We match you with lenders who approve no-credit buyers. 
  3. Step-by-Step Guidance – Our bilingual team walks you through documents and payments. 
  4. Drive Today – Pick your car and hit the road — often the very same day!

What You’ll Need to Bring

Getting approved is easier than you think. Bring: 

  • Valid driver’s license (or passport / Matrícula Consular if you don’t have a U.S. license) 
  • Proof of income (pay stub, job offer, or alternative income source) 
  • Proof of residence (utility bill, lease, or mail in your name) 

That’s it. We’ll handle the rest.

Building Your Credit with Your First Car Loan

Here’s the good news: financing your first car can actually help you build your credit history. When you make your monthly payments on time, you’ll see your credit improve, opening doors for better rates in the future. 

That means your first car isn’t just about transportation — it’s about building your financial future.
