I was going through a seperation and had to lose my home, unfortunately. Also, I was so into debt with my credit cards that I could not afford to pay them off because I was a single mom back then when my husband and I seperated. Now I need a newer car, not brand new, but newer than a 95 Isuzu Rodeo that I have. Please suggest if anything that I could do to try to get a car from a dealership.

You CAN get a decent car loan, even with bad credit. I've done it, but you'll have to look around. That's one of the BIG mistakes people make...just taking the first offer that's given to them when they go to the dealer. Be smarter than that.

WARNING: DON'T GO TO BUY A CAR WITHOUT HAVING THE LOAN FIRST. The auto dealers will eat you alive and give you a crappy rate. Shop around with lenders who specialize in bad credit car loans. It's a better option, you don't have to take what they're offering if you don't want it, and it's better than dealing with the car dealer's people.

There are usually some nationally based car loan companies who specialize in bad credit car loans who advertise on the page linked below...
