Is there a minimum income requirement to get approved?
There is no fixed minimum income requirement. What matters is that you have a steady, verifiable source of income that supports your ability to make payments. Whether you're paid hourly, salary, self-employed, or receive other regular income, we encourage you to apply and let us find a solution that fits your budget.
Do I need a valid driver’s license?
Yes, a valid driver’s license is required. Please bring it with you to the dealership, along with the following items:
- Your 3 most recent pay stubs or “other” proof of income
- Your most recent phone or utility bill to show proof of residence
- Down payment
- Contact information for 3-5 personal references
- Trade title, if you have a trade-in (yes, we take trade ins!)
How long do I need to be employed to qualify for financing?
Whether or not you qualify for financing depends on your unique situation. Length of employment isn’t the only thing we look at. It certainly helps to be at your job for a longer period of time, but it’s not necessarily required.
How much is the down payment?
The down payment depends on the vehicle you choose and the terms of your approval. While many competitors require large down payments, Byrider is often able to get customers driving with much lower amounts, sometimes even as low as $0 down.
Do you still have make/model of vehicle I saw online?
If the vehicle is online, there’s a good chance that we still have it in stock. We do sell cars quickly and add new cars to our inventory daily. Please contact the store directly or visit one of our dealerships for more information. 1-800-233-9293
How can I find out what specific features a listed vehicle has?
If you see a vehicle you love online, chances are it's still available — but don't wait too long! Byrider moves inventory fast and adds new vehicles daily. With 8 local stores, we can often transfer the vehicle you want to the location most convenient for you once you're approved. Contact us or stop by to confirm availability.
What is the minimum credit score needed to qualify for financing?
At JDBNOW, we look at more than just your credit score when deciding whether or not to approve our customers for an auto loan. We consider things like your income, your budget and your history of on-time payments (rather than just looking at your score alone). Because of that, there is no specific minimum credit score needed to qualify for financing from us.
Do you take trade-ins?
Yes, we take trade-ins! No matter the condition of the vehicle, we will take it as a trade-in. Ask about our monthly trade-in promotions.
Can I add a co-signer to my vehicle?
Of course! We will need both parties present as the time of purchasing the vehicle. Please make sure both parties bring the following:
- Your 3 most recent pay stubs or “other” proof of income
- Your most recent phone or utility bill to show proof of residence
- Down payment
- Contact information for 3-5 personal references
Can I get approved even with bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy?
Yes. At Byrider, we look at more than just your credit score. We evaluate your full financial picture, including income, stability, and employment, to find a financing solution that works for your situation. Bad credit or a fresh start won't automatically disqualify you.
How do I apply, and how long does it take?
You can start your application online in minutes or visit any Byrider location in person. Many customers receive a financing decision the same-day.
How are Byrider vehicles inspected before they're put up for sale?
Every vehicle on our lot goes through a rigorous multi-point inspection process before it's offered for sale. Byrider goes further than most Buy Here Pay Here dealerships to ensure they provide a quality vehicle through their thorough inspection process.
What warranty or service protection comes with my purchase?
Most vehicles come with a 3 Year/36,000 Mile Service Agreement, plus exclusive Byrider service, 0% interest mechanical loans, and $20 oil changes. You're covered well beyond the day you drive off the lot.
Will making payments at Byrider help me build or rebuild my credit?
Byrider reports your payments to the major credit bureaus. Consistent, on-time payments can help you establish or strengthen your credit profile over time, something not all buy here pay here dealers offer.
How is Byrider's financing different from a bank or traditional dealership?
Byrider finances vehicles in-house through CNAC, their own finance company. That means no third-party bank to reject your application. Decisions are made locally, based on your individual circumstances, not just a number on a credit report.
