"Can I get a car loan if my asylum status is pending? "
"I am in the U.S. seeking asylum. My asylum status is currently pending approval but I have a valid SSN and am authorized for at least the next two years.

You might have pretty good luck getting a personal loan instead of an auto loan, or if you are really desperate for a car, you can check with a Buy Here/Pay Here dealership, but you should be prepared to pay a lot of money each month.
Also keep in mind that when budgeting for a vehicle, you will also need to get insurance. You can find good deals by using a smart comparison tool like
