Take this opportunity and rebuild your financial future!
Welcome to Tom Wood Ford, your Indianapolis, Indiana, home for all things Ford. We know people's financial situations vary, but we believe everyone deserves the right to own a Ford car, truck, or SUV. If you have no credit, bad credit, bankruptcy, or even a vehicle repossession on your credit report, we can get you a loan through our Guaranteed Credit Approval Program. Here's how it works.
Guaranteed Credit Approval Requirements
We understand life events can disrupt your financial situation. Losing a job, health issues, and more put people under financial strain. Our program works because we've designed it to help people get back on track when budgets stretch and credit scores drop. All you need to drive away in a new or used Ford today are these four things:
- Proof of income: To qualify for a loan, you must have a source of income. For example, you can provide pay stubs, canceled checks, or a bank statement showing deposits from your employer.
- Proof of residence: We'd like to know where to send your monthly statements. A driver's license or state-issued ID works best. You can also provide utility bills for water or electricity, mailed bank statements, or a cellphone bill, as long as they have your name and address on them.
- Five personal references: Give us the name, address, and phone number of five people who will give you a personal reference. Of course, we won't get personal when we call them, but we want to know people are pulling for you.
- Proof of insurance: No matter your credit score, the law requires you to show proof of automobile insurance before we can let you drive off in your brand-new Ford. Your insurance company or agent can provide you with an insurance card to present to us when you sign your loan.
Build Your Credit With a Car Loan
The goal of getting your credit back on track can begin with a car loan from Tom Wood Ford. Making your payments on time each month will improve your credit score, because we report to the credit bureaus each month. In only 24 months, your credit score might increase by 100 points or more. As your credit score increases, so will other benefits. A higher score can give you access to major credit cards and lower interest rates on future loans. Your purchasing power increases with your rising credit score, as well. Eventually, you can qualify for a mortgage, turning the dream of owning a home into a reality.

How Does My Credit Score Affect My Loan?
The credit bureaus use an algorithm that factors your debt, income, payment history, and more to determine your creditworthiness. The higher your credit score, the less risk you present to lenders. This reduced risk allows you to get a loan at a lower interest rate, saving you money. It also increases the amount you can borrow. Conversely, having a lower credit score means you won't qualify for prime interest rates, and you're limited to how much you can borrow. Subprime lenders specialize in loans for people with lower credit scores. Of course, you pay a higher interest rate and won't borrow as much, but you can find lenders. At Tom Wood Ford, we have cultivated relationships with subprime lenders because we know your credit score doesn't necessarily reflect your responsible nature. Connecting you with these lenders allows you the dream of owning your car while restoring your credit.
Check Your Credit Score Frequently
Financial experts recommend you use one of the many free websites offering credit monitoring services to stay informed of your current score. Keeping tabs on your score will help you become more aware of financial situations that raise or lower your score. You can do simple things to improve your credit score quickly. For example, many people have items on their credit report that don't belong to them, lowering their score. Removing these can improve your score immediately. Experts also recommend adding or canceling a credit card to change your debt-to-income ratio. If you have a high debt-to-income percentage, adding a card will lower the ratio, improving your score.
Tom Wood Ford wants you to have the car, truck, or SUV of your dreams, no matter your credit history. We invite you to apply for a loan online or stop by to speak with a financial professional today. One of our experts will walk you through the process and help find you a loan that fits your needs and budget.
