Car Financing For Bad Credit

Trying to buy a car with bad credit?
I am trying to buy a car but I have very bad credit. I have $7000 to spend for a downpayment but I want about a 12,000 car will lenders work with that. Do you think the average car lot would lower the car to just say 10,000 and finance the $3000 remaining balance.
they should if you have 7000 for a down payment that should show them that you mean business and are pretty responsible with money to spite what may be in the past. your interest rate will just be higher that’s all.
