Resources

Expatriates often face challenges in financing car purchases due to lack of U.S. credit history. The ability to obtain car loans from banking institutions has been increasingly challenging in recent years especially for those without a U.S. credit history. Car finance opportunities are limited as a result of these circumstances. There are a variety of local and national resources to explore when it comes to new or used car purchase. Local newspapers or newspaper websites frequently advertise car purchase opportunities. Additionally, two reputable national websites include:

• Kelley Blue Book https://www.kbb.com/ • Edmunds https://www.edmunds.com/
