Default Options for Older Car Financing?

Howdy,

I'm in the market for a 993 and I'm considering financing.I know that most companies will only finance new(er) vehicles, what are my best options for financing a mid-90s car?

If you have good credit this is an option. I used them when I bought my 993 5 years ago. Loan was based on me telling them what I would use it for. I did not have to prove that I actually bought a car with it. There was no lien on my title.

I used Woodside on a factory five Daytona coupe. They were wonderful to work with.

The best nationally is JJ Best Banc . Good rates, understand classic cars and purchases, and very flexible. I highly recommend them .

At the time when I was looking for financing JJ Banc was higher than Woodside. Simple choice for me then.

My vote. I've had similar experiences with them.

PenFed can suck it.
