Frequently Asked Questions

While we do offer pre-approvals without the need for a credit check, you will ultimately need a full credit pull before your vehicle purchase is completed. This allows us to get the most accurate information to your lender and helps us find you the best possible rate and payment plan. You can fill out a credit application online here.

We have options available for financing both new and used vehicles at Speedway Subaru VW. In some cases, purchasing a new vehicle is actually a better option for someone in a tough credit situation. New vehicles often qualify for lower interest rates and are less risky for lenders since they include a long warranty period. Even for pre-owned cars, newer vehicles will typically qualify for lower interest rates and longer loan terms. So, your payment on a 2-year-old vehicle could be lower than your payment on an 8-year-old vehicle.

Speedway Subaru VW does not offer Buy Here Pay Here, simply because we don't need to. Thanks to our network of trusted financial institutions, our lenders can approve the same people who would be approved for Buy Here Pay Here lots—but with lower rates, more flexibility, and better credit-building opportunities. You can get approved for an auto loan by filling out our credit application here.

You may qualify for a no money down car loan at Speedway Subaru VW. The amount of money you need for your down payment will vary based on your credit history and the vehicle that you choose. Be sure to consult with one of our financing experts to see which vehicles on our lot could be financed with $0 down. Contact us here.

While many dealerships claim to offer guaranteed approval, it’s not always a realistic promise. At Speedway Subaru VW, we pride ourselves on transparency and honesty. While we can’t guarantee approval for every customer, we can guarantee that our team will do everything possible to help you secure financing. We also ensure that our approach is more reliable than dealerships that advertise guaranteed approval but often fail to deliver. You can trust us to provide options that fit your situation and give you a real chance to rebuild your credit.

There are several steps you can take to improve your chances of getting approved:

  • Consider making a larger down payment to reduce the loan amount and demonstrate your commitment to the purchase.
  • Try to bring a co-signer with good credit to increase the likelihood of loan approval.
  • Work with a dealership that uses multiple lenders to find the best financing options.
  • Make sure to provide all required documentation promptly and accurately to avoid delays in the process.

Yes, you can still get approved for an auto loan even with a past bankruptcy. Lenders may be more cautious, but they will consider factors like your current income, employment status, and how well you’ve been able to manage your finances since the bankruptcy. It’s important to show that you’ve worked on rebuilding your credit and that you can make regular payments on a new car loan.

Your credit score plays a significant role in determining your auto loan terms. A lower credit score may result in higher interest rates and less favorable loan terms, such as shorter repayment periods. However, at Speedway Subaru VW, we work with a wide range of financial institutions to help find the best loan options available, regardless of your credit score. By exploring various lending options, you can still find a manageable monthly payment plan.

Refinance Auto Loans for Bad Credit

Already have an auto loan but looking for better terms? At Speedway Subaru VW, we can help you refinance your auto loan even if you have bad credit. Refinancing may lower your monthly payments, reduce your interest rate, or adjust your loan terms to better suit your financial situation. Many customers find refinancing especially valuable after using our trade-in services to upgrade their vehicle. We proudly serve Indianapolis and Central Indiana communities like Carmel and Zionsville to help drivers achieve more affordable financing options.

We chose Speedway Volkswagen for one simple reason. They advertised and offered the most favorable Sign and Drive lease deal on the Tiguan of any VW dealer in the city. Perhaps most importantly, it wasn’t a loss leader type of deal. There wasn't just "one available at this price". They had numerous vehicles available, all at comparable savings. Amanda was straightforward and easy to work with.

Great experience all around at Speedway VW. Ryan George was fantastic and super knowledgeable. He found me the exact Cross Sport that I wanted in the color that is pretty tough to find. I appreciate all of the effort from the whole team. The finance department was especially helpful.

This was our first time dealing with Speedway Subaru after moving here from Lafayette. We had a good experience all around. I checked in online at night and got an appointment for the next morning, which wouldn’t have happened in Lafayette. The drop-off was very easy. We were greeted before we even got to the door and treated in a very friendly fashion. Even though a lot of services were added beyond the original issue, the car was still ready by mid-afternoon. The main problem we wanted fixed was taken care of to our satisfaction, a safety-critical problem was discovered and repaired, and we added some periodic maintenance that had gone undone for a while.

Employees are very, very kind, professional, and compassionate!

The employees are very, very kind, professional, and compassionate. The cars are amazing. The Subaru crosstrek (2024) has saved me from many car wrecks. I will always buy a Subaru, just as my best friend always has stood by as well. Thank you Subaru, for keeping me safe and looking out for me.

Sales person, Amanda, was knowledgeable, professional and sensitive to our needs. I was impressed that she responded so quickly to my request after work hours to set up an appointment the following Monday. While the car I was initially interested in had sold she found another that ticked all the boxes.

Great to Work with!

I purchased my Subaru Outback in 2021 when it was Falcone Subaru and have always had it serviced there. The people have been great to work with. They don't pressure you at all. I will always go to Speedway for all my Subaru needs.

Alex was an awesome salesman. I came from 2.5 hours north so we had to communicate via text mostly and he was super helpful throughout the entire process and afterwards. He was never pushy, always told the facts, and was knowledgeable. I’ve purchased several cars from dealerships and never had an experience as positive as this one. I wasn’t even positive I was buying a car from him and he still helped with all my questions. I would HIGHLY recommend speedway Subaru, especially Alex! (Salesmen, take notes from this guy!)
