Not much you can do unless you can magically make your credit score an 800. Take a few months of your most recent pay stubbs up there with you to show what your income is. But as it sits, the economy is jacked, and banks don't want to come off of their money. Best of luck to you, but I'd have a co-signer handy.

With the current economy, it's gonna be tough. Your best bet will be to wait a while and save up a big hairy down payment so you don't have to finance as much. The 100% down plan always works.

They wont give you the money for a fourwheeler if your 18 without a co signer..benn there done that...It's doubtful they would even with a co signer

You need credit history and a good score...like said above the economy is screwed

I AM ONLY 19 AND I HAVE A CREDIT SCORE AND I DON'T NEED A COSIGNER FOR ANYTHING I HAVE....BUT THAT IS B/C I HAVE A CREDIT HISTORY FROM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.....

you need to start up a credit card with a max spending limit of 300$ to start with, and pay the payments off every month on time and your credit score will go up in no time...

THAT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GET A CREDIT CARD...BUT WHAT WILL HELP YOUR CREDIT MORE IS TO USE IT AND PAY ON IT OVER TIME...NOT TO USE IT THEN PAY IT OFF ....IT WILL BUILD YOUR CREDIT SOME BUT NOT THAT MUCH....IT WILL BUILD YOUR CREDIT MORE IF YOU USE THE CARD AND PAY ON IT AND NOT MAX IT OUT....MAXING IT OUT WON'T HELP YOUR SCORE.... BUT GETTING A CREDIT CARD IS A GOOD IDEA....I WOULD GET IT WITH YOUR CREDIT UNION ...IT LOOKS BETTER THAN JUST A CREDIT CARD FROM A STORE OR A CAPITAL ONE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.....AND I WOULD REALLY NOT GET A CAPITAL ONE OR A DISCOVER...B/C MOST OF THERES IS LIKE A 22 - 25% INTREST RATE....AND IF YOU DO GET ONE GET ONE WITH A FIXED RATE AND NOT A VARIABLE RATE...

down payment is a great starting point. i bought one of mine and financed about 70% of the second one.........but our payment plan was almost triple what i was required to pay. get it payed for, said and done with.

i also agree with the 100% down plan! there's no other plan like it. ONE you say your switching jobs for better pay, there's one PLUS right there, save up for a MUCH larger down payment, if not 100% go for at least 70%, when you reach 50% evaluate your situation, and budget, and if 50% will swing it, then go for it. in todays economy, the last thing you want is to start the credit circle, especialy at your age.

IF you decide to finance the total amount, make double payments, one it will pay it off that much quicker, and if you can make 2 payments a month. the APR is calculated DAILY!! when you make a payment after 12 days in a month you're only paying interest for those 12 days, not 30. that will help you out too, even if the minimum payment is $100 pay $50 on the first and $50 on the 15th of the month.

Save your money and pay cash. Einstein said compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe and he was right. It can either work for you or against you.

So you're trying for a second 4wheeler note? If that is the case...you need to take some finance classes at your local college.

Always pay off things you charge on a credit card the second you get the statement. Never let any of the balance ride.

I would also get the 1st quad paid off before going farther in debt.

How much do you make a month at your new job? How much are you paying on the first loan? How much would you be paying on the second loan? Be careful you don't overextend yourself. Basically how our economy got into the mess right now is people taking out more loans than they can handle. I'd hate to see you become one of the people that most people on here hate because the taxpayers have to bail out your bad debt ;)
Just be patient and wait until you have more for a down payment. Right now a lot of banks aren't going to give you ANY loan without 20% down. Buy a used one or something if the dealers don't have one anymore.

As for credit cards, paying it off every single month doesn't build your credit score very much. Your credit score goes up when you have debt and pay it every month. If you pay it all off every month you don't really have any debt that you're making payments on. Don't keep large amounts on it, but make sure you always pay the minimum every month, don't miss payments, and leave a small amount (a few dollars) on so you continue to have debt to pay off. The important thing is to not leave large amounts on it.

Not sure if youve tried to get financed online with the manufacturer. More times than not if Yamaha (or any of them for that matter) turn you down then you can forget the credit union. Just a thought....I never liked going into those places when I was younger just to get turned down. Stings a little less online is what I am saying

seems like your wanting to start in the vicious credit circle, owe on one bike and finance another.........bad idea in my opinion. but this is your descision, if the financing institutions aren't going to give you the money, MAYBE that should throw up a red flag, that you don't NEED it right now.

plus it's not like you'll NEVER find another 660 out there.

Not to sound like a jerk, but if you don't even know how or what limitations there are to getting a loan for an atv...you don't need one. But nevertheless, good luck.

well i know for me i don't mess with any credit union i have been dealing with local my bank since i was 16 and i can walk in there and get any loan i want within reason that is. if you have been doing business with a bank for a while that would be your best bet on anyone giving you a loan there a little more forgiving on there customers like a little while back i was at the ford house buying a new truck seen how much there intrest rate was so i just called my loan officer at the bank told them what i wanted and how much i needed he didn't ask anyy questions just said tell them to fax me the info on the truck and ill send them a check and told me to come in when i could to sign the paperwork

I was hoping another loan officer would chime in, but I guess there's not one on here. I"ve been a loan officer for 7yrs so let me try and give you a few helpful pointer's.

First off NO credit is better than BAD credit, so atleast you have that going for you. Second you dont always need a co-signer, although they help. What you need to do is set aside 30% and this goes for any type of "recreational vehicle", when you have insufficient credit. Banks like this because it helps build equity, so if you go in defeault they can sell and recoup ther money. Third make sure you get the price down as much as possible on the bike you want to buy...."keep it stripped down, no wheels, tires, winch, etc". That way the loan to value is much lower and again they feel safe knowing they can recoup the money on a repo.

Now for the bad....the economy is basically in a freeze....banks are not lending on anything less than a slam dunk, no question about it kinda deal. "SO" make sure you wait until this BAILOUT bill is threw its cycle. The Senate has passed it and now Congress needs to in order to help you get your loan. Wouldn't you feel better about loaning money if you had plenty to spare.

So wait a few days and see if the bill goes threw. Learn to keep up with the economy at a young age and not be like today's youth.

You seem to be on the right track asking for advice....now if you were only buying a Kawasaki!!! JK
