I am looking around for some financing to get a truck and a trailer. I have loads and I have checked the numbers, they all work. Please make some recommendations on the best way to finance (buying vs leasing), and with who to finance. Also if there is anyone looking to get out of the business and would be willing to owner finance we would be very interested. We don't have much to put down but could possibly find more if the deal is right. Our credit score is good (over 700), but credit history is short (less than 3 years). Please share your knowledge and point us in the right direction. Thanks. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

I retired from the Ag & commercial finance business 6 years ago. After what has happened with the banking system and general economy in the last 2-3 years you are going to have a VERY, VERY, VERY difficult time finding financing. Most lenders will not finance anything older than 6-7 years old. If you found one that would they would finance it for 2 years or less. Most lenders are going to want at bare, bare minimum 20% down payment. If you have not been in business at least 3 years they will not even think about it.
I have 2 suggestions. Number 1 would be to find a lender that has repos and try to buy one of their repos. They are a whole lot more flexable if you are taking an asset off their books. Number 2 would be find a private individual who will be willling to finance you. Good Luck!! |

Hey pardner, I'm fresh out of cdl school here in iowa...had some livestock connections but no truck. long story short...found a 98 freightliner that was completely redone engine, tranny, clutch, new tires, new brakes, interior spotless for 10k ect ect. a guy named Doug Shields out of Arizona helped me get financed on this old of truck. I put 27% down and the deal was done with a 590 credit score and a bankruptcy 1 1/2 years ago. If you got a 700 credit score he can get you in a truck/trailer for $500 - 1000 down, with a warranty if you want it. no joke mate. www.aztrucksource.com. Tell him mike from Iowa sent you. he's the straightest shooter you'll ever talk to. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |
