Can you only finance up to 120% of a car's value?
Can you only finance up to 120% of your car's value? I want to get some extra money when I finance my car so I can do upgrades. I'm not exactly sure how much I'll need, but it will probably be around 20% to 25% of the car's value.

- you have outstanding credit
- you have low debt-to-income
And that amount is a pretty good deal, especially when you consider a car is a depreciating asset. So if you can get that
new car loan
, chances are you should take it.”View full answer
