I recently turned 18 and am in need of a car. My previous car I totalled so my family said they wouldn’t help me finance another one and that I would have to do it myself. I bank with a credit union under my grandmothers account so I don’t know if I can get a loan on my own. I also live in Alabama and I know for like getting an apartment you have to be 19 and I didn’t know if the same was with cars.
