Maybe I've read the treads wrong but for those that applied to & were approved at finance companies & credited unions. Why did you need a down payment if the car you wanted was less than the amount the companies approved you for?

Even though you are "approved" for a certain amount, the "Deal" must satisfy certain loan to value ratios. Also, from a practical standpoint, you never want to buy a car with zero down, at a bare minimum you should pay for the costs (tax, title, etc) and not finance that into the deal. Also, if you put money down, you can sometimes get a better interest rate.

No it doesn't work that way. Even though you are approved the bank will only finance so much of the Blue Book value of the vehicle. So if your approved for $20K and buy a car for $18 K that books at $18K the bank will usually go 80 or 90% leaving you with a down payment of tax, title and license and/or the other 10%.4/09 Converted to a Ch 7 due to loss in dh's income
