Paying Off a Car Loan

The best way to build credit with a car purchase is to take out a car loan and continue making payments. As you pay on time over a long period of time, like three years, you will prove that you are responsible with your money and your credit score will see an improvement.

However, you will need to be careful. While car loans can help buyers improve their credit, this can hurt your credit if you are late on payments. Bottomline, you should only take out a car loan if you are fully prepared to pay the agreed amount plus interest on time.
