How can I get approved for a $70,000 car loan?
I want to buy an Audi A8, but I'm concerned that I won't get approved for a car loan. I currently make $100,000 per year and have a credit score of 800. I know that's all good on paper, but I'm looking for a loan in the ballpark of $70,000, and so I'm a little concerned. Will I get approved for this loan? How can I increase my chances?
