My credit is non-existant, but I need to get a new(er) car. I have a good amount of money for a down payment, but no reputable bank will touch me. However, I just found a number of online auto loan lenders who specialize in bad/no credit/bankruptcy loans.<br> <br> Obviously, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Just as obviously, I'll likely be hit with a usurious interest rate. I'm OK with that for the time being, but I feel like there's something I'm overlooking.<br> <br> Any MeFites have experience in this area? Are they a scam or a godsend? Any hidden weirdness I should look out for? Any specific recommendations?<br> <br> Hard facts and anecdotes are equally welcome. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.106303 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:10:26 -0800 auto bad_credit bankruptcy car financing loan no_credit lekvar
