Securing a reliable vehicle shouldn't be out of reach, yet traditional auto financing can feel like a locked door for many with poor or no credit. Enter $99 down auto financing, an option built for real people facing real credit challenges. Whether banks have turned you down or don’t have the credit history to get approved, this low-barrier option could be your ticket to the driver’s seat.
$99 down auto financing allows you to purchase a car with just $99 upfront, making it ideal for buyers who can’t afford a big down payment. These programs are usually offered through in-house financing or Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealerships. That means the dealer, not a bank, finances the loan. You make your payments directly to the dealership.
Low Entry Barrier – Only $99 needed to start the process
Flexible Credit Approval – Accepts bad credit, no credit, or past issues like repossessions or bankruptcies
Quick Turnaround – Get approved fast, sometimes on the same day
Vehicle Variety – Many dealers offer a range of inspected, ready-to-drive used vehicles
Credit Rebuilding – On-time payments can help improve your credit score over time
Most dealerships make this program available to:
Buyers with steady income (pay stubs or bank statements)
People with proof of residence (utility bills or lease)
Drivers with a valid government-issued ID
Buyers with insurance or the ability to get insured
You don’t need good credit. Many customers qualify even if they’ve been recently turned down elsewhere.

1. Can I get approved with no credit history?
Yes! $99 down auto financing is designed for buyers without established credit. Approval is based on income and stability, not your FICO score.
2. Does this program only require $99 upfront?
Yes. In most cases, that’s all you need to get started. Some dealers may require additional fees at signing, so always clarify the full cost breakdown.
3. Will my payments be reported to credit bureaus?
Yes, at reputable dealerships like Car City Central. This is one of the most significant benefits of in-house financing for credit rebuilding.
4. What kind of vehicles are available with $99 down?
You’ll typically find reliable used cars, trucks, and SUVs that have passed inspection. View the current inventory here.
5. What if I’ve had a recent repossession or bankruptcy?
