Bring everything you can to the table, money down especially. Time on job, low debt to income, not a boatload of debt, good payment history with at least 1 lender, even if you have missed other payments. Any/all of these things will help you get bought. You also need to pick the right car, consider things like a total cost of 10k or less, but something with decent miles. You might have to buy a 60k mile cobalt or Focus or something, with not alot of options, but its about the bank being secure, and they like newer cars with lower miles better.
Like I said, I have seen scores in the 400s bought before under the right circumstances.

something with between 50k and 100k made in the last 8 or so years is what I would like if it's reliable. how much does income play into the loan decision, because (not wanting to brag) I make good money (about $18.50/hr). i don't have any repos or leins or bankruptcies, just not much credit and what I do have ain't so good. all of my debt comes from my student loans, but there is a lot of it (around 50k total).
