You are looking at 60-70% financing of the asking price and a nice chunk down payment if you find anyone that will do it. Most notes are put on 24 months for older vehicles so the payment can be quite high.

I was recently helping a friend with this.

USAlliance Credit Union will offer auto loans on vehicles as old as 1997.

https://www.usalliance.org/welcomeX.aspx

They still allow for 60mo. notes (I think even 72mo.) and the interest rate is competitve with new vehicles (6%ish). The down payment required is modest assuming a clean history/beacon score.


Hth.

Credit Unions are the only ones that will give you an auto loan on a used vehicle. Define.... "old." My credit union thought that my 98' GS was pretty old and there were on the fence whether to loan me money or not.

"Old" meaning a car from the 90s. I have been thinking about buy another car to play with. Like a 96-98 Mustang Cobra. My credit union will only finance a car as far back as 2001.
