Can I get a car loan with zero money down?

Yes, zero-down car loans exist, but they're not as common as they used to be. Most lenders today want at least some cash down—typically 10 to 20 percent—because it reduces their risk if you default. However, many lenders will still approve $0-down deals, especially if you have decent credit, stable income, or a trade-in to put toward the purchase. The catch is that you'll pay more in interest over the loan term, and your monthly payment will be higher than if you'd put money down. Lenders are more willing to do zero-down when your income is solid and verifiable, your credit score is decent (usually 650+), or when you're trading in a vehicle with equity. Some special-finance lenders who work with buyers rebuilding credit will also offer $0-down options, though again, rates will reflect the added risk. The vehicle itself matters too—newer cars with lower mileage are easier to finance with nothing down than older or high-mileage used cars. The real question isn't whether $0-down exists; it's whether the monthly payment and total interest make sense for your budget. Run the math on a few scenarios before committing.
