How many car loans can you have at once?

I have three car loans, but my son is going to graduate from college early, so I'm going to buy him a car. Can I have four loans at once? Is there a limit to how many car loans I can have?

There’s no limit to how many
car loans
you can have at once, provided that you have enough income, a good credit score, and a debt-to-income ratio at 43% or less.
If you possess all of these attributes, you’ll likely get approved for a loan for your son. (Congratulations by the way! You must be proud!) Since you probably know the ropes around buying a new car, you know the importance of shopping around for the best deals. That said, if you already have three loans with the same lender, they might find a good deal if you bring them a fourth.
The last thing to consider is your car insurance. With so many drivers under your roof, you should shop around to find various discounts and other discounts, especially if you’re adding another car to the fold. Use the
