Financing Questions & Answers

What is Buy Here Pay Here financing?

Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) financing means that Advantage Auto Sales & Credit provides the loan directly to you instead of using an outside bank. You make your payments to us, and we handle the entire financing process in-house.

Do I need good credit to get approved?

No. We specialize in helping customers with bad credit, no credit, or past financial challenges. Your approval is based on your current income, stability, and ability to make payments-not your credit score alone.

How much money do I need for a down payment?

Down payment amounts vary depending on the vehicle and your financial situation. Our team will work with you to determine the most affordable option possible.

Can I get approved if I've had a repossession?

Yes. Many of our customers have had repossessions in the past. We understand that life happens, and we look at your current ability to pay rather than your past difficulties.

Do you report my payments to the credit bureaus?

Yes. Making consistent on-time payments can help you build or rebuild your credit over time. This is one of the biggest advantages of our in-house financing program.

What documents do I need to apply?

Most customers only need proof of income, proof of residence, a valid driver's license, and references. Additional documentation may be requested depending on your situation.

How long does the approval process take?

Many customers are approved the same day. Because we process everything in-house, approvals are typically quick and straightforward.

Can I choose my payment schedule?

In many cases, yes. We offer weekly or bi-weekly payment options based on your pay schedule to help make budgeting easier.

Will I need a co-signer?

Most customers do not require a co-signer. Because we look at your income and stability rather than relying on credit scores, our approval process is more flexible.

What if I'm self-employed?

Self-employed customers can still qualify. We may ask for additional proof of income such as bank statements or tax documents.

Do you check my credit?

We may check your credit as part of the approval process, but it is not the deciding factor. Your approval is based on your current situation, not your score alone.

Can I trade in my current vehicle?

Yes. Trade-ins are welcome and can help reduce your required down payment or lower your monthly payments.

What happens if I have trouble making a payment?

If you experience financial difficulty, contact us right away. Because we service your loan directly, we can often work with you to find a temporary solution.

Are your vehicles inspected?

Yes. All of our vehicles undergo inspections, and many include additional protection plans to help keep you on the road with confidence.

How soon can I drive my new vehicle?

In many cases, customers can drive home the same day they're approved. The process is fast, simple, and designed to get you on the road as quickly as possible.
