#841 of 860 Leasing a vehicle while in bankruptcy by rogg2148

Is it possible to lease a vehicle while in bankruptcy? I need to get a car, but no lenders will work with me because I still have about 3 more years to go.

The issue is that you usually have to have a higher credit score in order to lease a vehicle than you do to buy a vehicle.

What about having a co-signer with good credit?

Do you really think someone woull co-sign a loan for you while you are still in bankruptcy? Scratch that question, here's another for you: Do you really think it is responsible to ask someone to co-sign for you while you are still in bankruptcy?
 
How about buying a used car? There are plenty of cheap used cars out there that will last 3 years.

A co-signer won't help you.
 
As long as your name is on that application your BK will stop a loan from happening.

In the currnt credit enviorment is it possible to get a car loan with a recent bankruptcy discharge? I am interested in purchasing a 2005ish Volvo XC90 or Toyota Sequioa. I have a trade in worth $3-4k and have $3k to put down. Hoping to find a 3rd row suv for around $15k.

Yes, especially with the down payment you have.
