Hey guys I just had a question regarding Penfed.

Has anyone been declined by Penfed? (If you don't mind sharing, could you state the reason why you got declined?)

I haven't applied for an auto loan with them yet, but I'm a bit hesitant to start. The reason I say this is because I've been declined twice, once at a dealership and once again at Chase.

The reason was because I have a short credit history. My credit otherwise is great and I have no dings or negatives on my credit report. The lenders stated that the only way I can get those loans is if I can get a co-signer, which unfortunately I am currently unable to..

I'm a full-time student and I calculated my budget/finances to see how much monthly payment I can afford comfortably (<5% APR or ~$540 monthly payment) on a base model Z.

TL;DR: Is Penfed more 'lenient' with loans or does anyone know a credit union who will loan even with a short credit history.

Thanks for your time!
