Question: what credit score is needed for a car loan?
Answer: At the end of September 2019, the average credit score for a new-car loan was 715, and 662 for a used-car loan, according to an Experian report. But roughly 25% of car loans went to borrowers with credit scores below 600, according to Experian. Almost 5% of used-car loans went to those with scores below 500.
