np breh. Just stand on ur convictions and be confident in what you want. Dont check out the exact car you want off the bat, just say that your looking around right now. The seller that stays with you through the search is your target cuz they want that sell. make sure your mo/ payments can get as low as possible, even with low credit score stay within your budget. If you can put money down or trade your car in then the monthly should be lowered. You Dont need to put too much down, you can put like 1-2k down and ask them to lower the monthly. Your car should be able to get your rate at a lower cost. Thats all thats coming to me so far, if i remember anything else ill be back, good luck breh. Sundays are good days so Try checking out a couple dealerships today before the game. Go SwagBoyz!

You are going to need a cosigner. Better off saving and buying used and getting your credit up later. They will make special cases for you if you have huge income to debt ratio.
Thing is my dad isn't a us citizen and doesn't have us credit history
but he has a strong source of income made outside the US can he still be a cosigner?
Debt is the devil, whatever you buy, try to buy it in cash. That way your car becomes an asset instead of a liability. Look towards your area and what you do in order to determine what kind of car you should get:
1) If you are driving in a lot of bad weather you need a 4x4
2) if you are putting on more than 30 miles a day you should get a 4 cylinder
3) IF you are always picking up stuff you need a truck with an open cab, etc etc
Try to buy a car that holds its value in whatever vehicle utility demographic you are seeking. And if you can buy a car that's body on frame instead of unibody.

Well, I don't know how real this is, but I read on Forbes that buying a new car is a waste of money. It says to buy used. Under 20,000 miles if you can.
It is, you easily lose $5,000 driving it off the lot. Unless you can use that depreciation as a tax credit it's a total wash.

Nope. You should ask pops for 10K and just buy a used car bro.
Thing is I don't want a car. I just need one for a internship I'll be doing over a couple of months and possibility again in the summer.
Thanks breh! Swagboyz all day! I'm actually in Oklahoma working a contract job. I'm hunt for cars next weekend when I get back to Arlington.np breh.
