Wait 10 months. Put 10,000 down get a cosigner get a 2013 for $3000-4000 MSRP because the 14's are out. Be prepared for a lot of rejection though, no credit is often harder to get cars than bad credit.

You will enjoy the car a bunch more if the payment is not through the roof.

Talking El Cajon Mitsubishi

Hi! Just bought my third Evo, 2013 GSR w/SS/Ralliart locks and Int package, from El Cajon Mitsu in San Diego, for $34,400, straight deal and no hidden fees, plus just the usual tax and DMV. (I did add Nav which raised price) If you want an Evo in SoCal, this is the place to go now. Check out their website, great inventory and real prices listed on most models. BTW, they offer free 2 years basic maintenance on all new and used cars.

You have 0 credit, you're asking for a loan on a car that is high risk to be stolen or totaled, and is 7 years old (Evo IX), or is $20,000+. And, any X that's 20k is going to have close to, or more than 100,000 miles.

It doesn't matter how much money you make per month. Unless you have a HUGE ($10,000+) down, you're not going to get a loan with out a co-signer.

No credit its worse than bad credit in some cases. Banks view no credit as complete random risk. If you have a 600 credit score, at least the bank knows you're not very likely to pay your bills, so they will charge you more interest. With 0 credit, they have no idea what to expect. And that's scary to them.

I'm not a site vendor, but I do work for a dealership and am familiar with how auto finance works. If an Evo is the goal, you may have to adjust your time frame.

Banks assess risk based on the assumption that EVERYONE will default on a loan, even if you have an 850 credit score. That score is just a measure of how likely you are to default. Lower your score, less likely you are to pay, so they want to make sure that the payments you do make that they make a **** load of money by charging you higher interest to offset what they assume will be a bad loan.

Banks also assess risk based on the car. That is, how easy or hard it will be to get rid of the car if/when you default on it. Newer cars, with fewer miles are easier to auction off than some 13 year old POS with 240,000 miles on it. So, as backwards as it sounds, people with bad credit or no credit actually have an easier time getting financed on newer cars.

Finally, banks used NADA retail when they finance a car. Based on your credit and income they will generally allow you to finance between 80%-130% of NADA value. More money and better credit, they allow you to finance closer to that 130%. With no credit, you're be closer to that 80% range. Meaning you have sale price - 80% of NADA book value = roughly how much money you need to come up with to cover the difference. So say a car books for 10,000, but because of your credit they will only finance 80% of that. And lets say the price if the car is $12,000 after TTL. 80% of 10,000 is 8,000. Meaning 12,000 - 8000, you need to have $4,000 down.

This is what makes an Evo IX an unlikely scenario. A 2006 is 7 years old. If it's less than 20k it's going to have 80k+ miles or so. That's a high risk vehicle to a bank. Add on top of that you have no credit, and it's a high risk for theft and being totaled. Plus, damn near all of them are sold for over NADA book.

Lets talk about Evo X. Our store recently sold a 2008 with 96k on it for $19,999. Given how many calls we got on it, we probably should have sold it for $21k. So they're going to very high miles. Again that's hard to finance.

So, what about a brand new Evo X? There's no NADA book on a new, so that's okay. There's less risk if the bank gets stuck with it, that's good. But now we're talking about a $37,000 loan (with TTL). With no money down that's a $670 a month payment on a 72 month loan after interest.

You have 3 options
1) Get a co-signer with a very good credit score
2) Come up with a butt load of money down (10k+)
3) Get a loan or lease on a new, non-performance car for a few years and build credit. A structured loan (monthly payments) will build your credit in 2 years (if you make all your payments) much fast than getting a small limit credit card.

Hey everyone Im looking at 2 Evolution MR's and I don't know what would be a good deal on either of these Evo's. I posted some info. Im trying to find out if/what a fair deal is.

RR: Leather/Suade, GPS, RF System, 28,920 Miles $27,990.00

AS: Leather/Suade 33,990 Miles $27,990.00

Both are at separate dealers in different areas at different non - dealerships.

5000 miles less, and navi for the same price? Seems like a no brainer.
