Can I get a short term loan from my bank with my car as collateral?

My car title is free and clear. It's a 2002 Olds Alero. I've heard bad things about title loans from local title loan companies. The problem is my credit is not too great. My car is worth way more than I want to borrow. I only need around 300 - 500 dollars. Is it possible to qualify for a loan with the car as collateral?

1. Try a credit union before a bank. If a bank find one that's locally owned. The smaller and more local the more friendly the reception will be. Do not go to any payday loan or title loan place ever 'cause those are scam artists impersonating businesses.
2. Do not go to a title loan place just go to a small bank, they are nice and kind. Well good luck and make sure you pay it back soon so the interest will not pile up!

8. If you are trying to get a Auto Car Loan and you know that your credit is not the best then you do not need to worry because getting a Car Loan even with bad credit is not that hard. Most lenders know that people nowadays have taken some hits on there credit and they have made it easier to obtain a Car Loan even if you credit is bad. http://www.worldbestloans.com/guaranteed-car-loan.htm When getting your auto loan be aware that you may be required to pay a higher interest rate because the lender will look at you as a higher risk with bad credit. It is important to understand that even though you have a higher interest that as you make your monthly payments on time this will help raise your credit score and then you can always refinance it at a later time.
9. No, unfortunately banks don't view cars as collateral. Instead they view them as a liability. The reasoning behind this is that although you may want to borrow less than the car is worth...most banks see it as too troublesome. For one if the car breaks down and you cannot afford to repair it...if it gets involved in an accident and gets written off...you could potentially sell it...the bank doesn't want the hassle of trying to get their money back through a foreclosure or debt counsellor...and they don't want to deal with auctioning off of assets. I think you need to do an assessment of what you require versus what you are spending and rebuild your credit rating slowly. I have gone through the same problem with bad credit and it took me 7 years to wait for my credit record with the credit reporting agencies to clear my name. Hope this helps.
