Can I get a car loan for a private sale for $4,000?
I want to get a used car as my original vehicle just died. I found a car on Craigslist, and with a price of $4,000, it's below the blue book value. I know it's more difficult to get a car loan for a private sale. Can I get a car loan for $4,000 for this vehicle?

“You likely won’t be able to get a
car loan
for any vehicle for $4,000, regardless of where you buy it from.Most banks don’t want to loan money on an older, high-mileage vehicle, and there’s little money for them to make anyway. However, you could try to get a personal loan from a lender.
Don’t forget that when you buy a new (to you) vehicle, you will need to pay for car insurance, too. While it is an extra expense, it doesn’t have to break the bank. Use the free
