What credit score is needed to buy a car?

When you are ready to purchase a new or used vehicle, a common worry is whether or not you have the right credit score to make that purchase. There are several factors that can impact your credit score, and getting it back up to snuff can be difficult and takes time. Some of these factors include missing payments, changes in marital status, if you are just starting to build up credit, or even if you are new to the country. But sometimes you don’t have the time to wait for better credit if you are in need of a different or first vehicle right now. So what do you do? And what credit score is needed to buy a car?
