Financing Options

We keep customers on the road by offering used car financing

If you have bad credit or no credit, America’s Car-Mart is here to help. We provide financing options regardless of your past credit history (bad credit and/or no credit), previous repossession, or bankruptcy. We’ll sit and talk with you to understand your current financial situation, budget, and long-term goals. Then we’ll determine a down payment and payment plan that’s affordable and works for you. Our goal is to help you be successful.

We make buying a used car and auto financing easy

When you need a used vehicle, Car-Mart can help get you back on the road with low down payments and affordable payment options. Car-Mart is an integrated auto sales and finance company also known as a ‘buy here pay here’ dealership – we’ll sell you a used vehicle and provide the financing in house.

Low Down Payments

We offer low down payments so you can quickly get into a vehicle. The down payment depends on the vehicle you choose, trade-in value, your credit application, as well as any promotion we may have going on during the month.

Payment Options

We can create payments that fit your budget and payment schedule. You can decide to make weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly payments depending on your situation. We also offer several convenient ways to make your payments.

Lay-A-Way Plan

Plus, some of our locations offer a lay-a-way plan that allows payments up to six weeks to pay on your down payment. If you have qualified to purchase a vehicle, but you’re short on your down payment, our lay-a-way program can help.*

*Lay-A-Way is not available in Texas.
