What Makes the Mike Anderson Program Better Than Buy Here, Pay Here?

There are several differences in the Mike Anderson program, offered through our own captive finance company, Drive Now Loans.

  • Reporting: We report monthly to both TransUnion® and Equifax® to provide an accurate picture of your repayment history and help build your credit.
  • Payment Frequency: The bad credit auto loan specialists at the Drive Now Loans center will work with you to outline a payment plan with the frequency that’s right for you.
  • Multiple Payment and Lending Options: Get in touch with the Drive Now Loans specialists to work out the right payment option and lending program for your situation.

Another key aspect of the Drive Now Loans program is that our stores also offer new vehicles. So as your low credit scores rise and you find yourself back in the market, our dealer group can offer the entire selection of inventory — including certified pre-owned vehicles and new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram models as well as Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models at our various GM stores. Many Buy Here, Pay Here dealers sell only used cars and some do not even report to the credit bureau — thus your good payment history is not reflected.

Currently, Drive Now Auto Loans are only available for cars at the affiliated dealerships here in the Mike Anderson Auto Group. Contact us with any questions and one of our friendly representatives will be happy to assist you. Or, read more about the Drive Now Loans program and see frequently asked questions.

Subprime Car Loans

If you have a less than optimal credit score and need to take out a loan for a vehicle, you’ll secure what is called a “subprime” car loan. The phrase “subprime” simply indicates that you have a lower credit score than lenders consider “prime,” and lenders see you as more of a risk when it comes to lending money. As a result, subprime loans generally come with higher interest rates.

There can be several credit scores associated with you as lender, with different models — you’ve probably heard of the FICO® score — and different credit bureaus that compile your credit report. Because of this, there’s no official “subprime” cutoff rate, and no official loan rate for subprime car loans. However, it’s still wise to get an understanding of where your general range can fit.

You may hear the terms “low” or “bad” credit score applied to borrowers looking for a subprime loan and wonder where you fit. We’ve outlined the FICO credit score ranges for you in the section below.

What Is Considered Low Credit for a Car Loan?

Your credit score will most likely fall somewhere between 300 and 850. A "low" credit score is often described as one below 670. A score between 580 and 669 is often considered "fair," and one between 300 and 579 is "bad." Are you struggling with bad or non-existent credit? You don't have to worry here at the Mike Anderson Auto Group! Our team of financing experts will work closely with your unique situation and answer any questions you may have.

How Can Drive Now Auto Credit Affect Your Credit Score?

Drive Now Auto Credit reports payment history monthly to both TransUnion and Equifax. As long as your payments stay timely, this reporting shows your on-time payments, which will reflect positively on your credit score. Many things can impact your credit score in addition to your payment histories, so provided customers keep payments timely and avoid other items that might lower their credit score, they will soon feel the benefits of a rising credit score. DNAC offers financing alternatives similar to buy here pay here dealerships, however, there is a significant upside: as consumer credit improves with regular payments, we can begin to transition customers into newer vehicles through traditional lenders.
