Question 1

Can I really finance a scooter with no credit check?

Accepted Answer

Yes — American First Finance uses alternative income-based underwriting, not a traditional FICO credit pull. Most applicants are approved regardless of credit score, recent bankruptcy, or limited credit history. The only requirements are valid ID, verifiable income, and a checking account.

Question 2

How much money do I need down on a scooter?

Accepted Answer

Most Philadelphia buyers put $0–$200 down on a scooter or ATV. Down payment varies by purchase price, monthly payment, and approval terms, but it is typically far lower than dealership financing requires.

Question 3

What if I have bad credit or recent bankruptcy?

Accepted Answer

American First Finance approves the majority of applicants with bad credit, no credit, or recent bankruptcies. Their underwriting is income-based, not credit-based. Walk in or apply online — most approvals come back in under 10 minutes.

Question 4

How long does approval take?

Accepted Answer

Online applications are typically approved in under 10 minutes. Walk-in applications at our 3818 K St, Philadelphia showroom are usually decided within 30 minutes. You can ride your scooter home the same day in most cases.

Question 5

Is there a prepayment penalty if I pay it off early?

Accepted Answer

No — American First Finance has zero prepayment penalty. If you pay off the loan within 90 days, all interest is waived (90-day same-as-cash option). After 90 days, you can pay it off anytime without penalty.

Question 6

What happens if I miss a payment?

Accepted Answer

Late fees apply per the contract terms — typically $15–$25 per missed payment. Repeated missed payments may result in repossession. Call American First Finance customer service immediately if you anticipate a payment problem — they often work with customers to restructure or defer payments.
