<prompt> Human: Sorry if this is the wrong sub, I wasnt sure where would be most appropriate.Essentially, I am a graduate student with a car that is on its last leg. I was fortunate to get a free car from my grandma, but at this point it is starting to feel unsafe to drive and I dont want to sink more money into it at the mechanic. In the area I live, I need a car. Here is the thing: I have received a job offer for when I graduate, in another location where I will need a car. The job would start in about 3 months in a city about 6 hours away. The money I will be making will be more than enough to cover monthly payments on the cars I am looking at 10k. I actually have enough in savings to cover that entire cost now, but I dont want to completely blow my emergency fund. I would be fine putting down a healthy down-payment. Id really like to just buy a new used, but new to me car now. It would make my life a lot less stressful, and would be really helpful during the moving process. I have more than enough money in savings to cover the car payments for the 3 months before my job starts. The company is paying my moving expenses.Ive never had a car loan before - online it says I need proof of income, probably in the form of a pay stub. I work part-time now but it is really just enough to pay the rent, since I am a full time student. I have excellent credit. Will it be possible to get a loan without a pay stub for the job I am starting in a few months? Would a signed job offer, alongside bank statements be enough proof? Thanks!  <response>: Bring paystubs from your current job. Along with the signed job offer. Showing any income will be better than nothing. Offer to put down as much as you possibly can and still leave yourself an Efund. You could probably get your payments to under 200 a month. You might get hit with a not so ideal rate but when you start the new job, pay it aggressively and you could probably pay it off in year, minimizing interest on the rate you might get.The down payment will be a big factor though, the more you can put down, the more likely they are of an approval with a decent rate. And it puts you in a good position to pay it off quickly.
