Can I get a car loan while unemployed, but with good credit?

I will be starting grad school in the fall and am required to have a car for the particular program I'm in. I am not planning to be employed at all during the time I am in school. I ended my job about three weeks ago so I could do some traveling before the school year starts. I will be receiving about $30,000 in grants, scholarships, and loans each school year. $10,000 of this will go to paying tuition, books, etc. and so I will therefore be living off the remaining $20,000. Is there any chance that when I go to apply for a car loan that they will consider these loans and scholarships as income in lieu of an actual earned income from a job? What are my chances of being approved as an unemployed student? I do have excellent credit.

1. NO.
2. as long as you have money to bak you up talk to your bank explain and voila you may need collateral
3. Probably not. The only rule is that "if you work you drive".
4. Even with excellent credit, it may still be hard to convince a bank to lend you money without a job and also with the new debt you've recently added for the grad school program. What you may want to do is take some of the cash from the $20,000 in living expenses and get a cheaper, older, used car to carry you through this grad school program and then upgrade once you've landed the great job you'll get once you finish school. Most people find it very difficult to budget money when they get it in large lump sums versus when they get it in a regular pay check. The fewer regular scheduled monthly bills you have while you're not working, the better off you'll be. Good luck with school.

9. Today every person has need of car, because it has become the necessary need for the people and status symbol also. If you have bad credit history or poor credit history and look for purchase a car, then it is very tough for you. Due to bad credit history, lenders are not keen toward<!--providing you loan, but do not be discouraged.Generally, bad credit car loans are available at higher interest rate, but you can take at competitive interest rate after placing your assets as collateral in secured bad credit cal loan. http://badcredits.awardspace.com/guaranteed-car-loan.htm You also can grab bad credit car loan without keeping your asset as collateral, but you have to pay competitively higher interest rate. Hence-->you can take this loan at better rate, because competition among lender.You can reduce your interest rate after talking with the lender
10. You can't list grants and scholarships as income sources on a loan agreement because that money is already earmarked for other purposes (or you wouldn't have received the money in the first place). If that is your only source of income, I know of no reputable lender that would finance a car for someone with no income regardless of their credit "score". It wouldn't be good business.
11. I seriously doubt it....you won't have any income
