- Where does my credit score come from?
A credit score is calculated from three main credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Your score comes from an assessment of your credit history, taking into account things like number and type of loans, payment history, and other factors to determine your creditworthiness. The higher your score, the less of a risk you are to lenders and the more likely to get approved for a loan with a lower interest rate.
- What do the numbers in a credit score really mean?
For FICO scores, the most common type of credit score, the range is from 300 to 850. A good score is generally 700 or above, while a score below 679 indicates fair to bad.
- What will my monthly payments be?
Monthly payments depend on a variety of factors – the price of the vehicle, how much you put down, your trade value, your credit score, and other important details all contribute to what your payments will be. For a quick estimate, plug in all the relevant info into our handy Payment Calculator and get a better idea of what you’ll pay each month.
