Do You Need a Down Payment?

With LA Auto Center's program, you can get started with a small down payment as long as you stay within the approval guidelines. Plus, we have no application fees, saving you even more money. Our program makes buying a used car easier, even with little to no cash for a down payment. By paying as little as the taxes, title, and DMV fees, you can drive off the lot with your new vehicle.

Required Documents and Conditions

Aside from your auto loan application, you'll need proof of employment and income, such as a current pay stub. While we accept applicants with bad credit, you must demonstrate the ability to make payments on your car loan. Additional documents or conditions may be necessary depending on your unique circumstances.
