If you have a retirement program with your employer? its possible to borrow your own money from your account, and you pay yourself back!

Just a thought

Ride Safe!

You should be able to get money locally. You're going to pay higher intrest, but, they'll be happy to chrage you. How about a home equity load?

Go to lending tree online if you have any chance of being financed they will find you someone.

Make sure that you research all of your options first before a finance company pulls your credit report. If you have multiple people pulling your credit your score will be reduced making it a little more difficult to finance. Good Luck.

I may be outta line and I will approach this in the nicest possible way, but, Bro...if your credit is already hosed, maybe this is a good time to start living within your merans and not spending monjey you don't have?

You indicate "another Duece"...what happened to the first one?

Really, Bro...in your situation, if you can't pay cash (or at the very least 50% down), I'd put this idea on the back burner for a few years.

That has changed some now...Here is a snip from Experian.com


Q.
Will I be penalized for shopping around for the best interest rate?
A. Credit scores count every consumer-initiated credit application. Therefore, excessive applications for credit can adversely affect a score. However, it is becoming more common for risk score models to recognize when a consumer is shopping for the best rates and either ignore inquiries for a specific purpose within a period of time, or count multiple inquiries for a specific purpose as only one. This is most common in mortgage and auto lending. In such cases, shopping around will have little or no impact on a risk score.
